A 51-year-old Chinese national has been charged for theft onboard a Scoot flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. The police were alerted to the case of alleged theft at 12.20am on Monday (March 17). According to preliminary investigations, a male passenger witnessed Zhang Kun allegedly taking the victim's bag from the overhead compartment while he was away from his seat. Zhang allegedly took the bag back to his seat, rummaged through it and hid the victim's belongings in his jacket before returning the bag to the compartment. The witness alerted the victim, who discovered that a credit card, $200 and RM100 (S$30) were missing from his wallet. The victim and the witness called the police after they landed at Changi Airport and began looking for Zhang. He was eventually located within the transit area by the witness and victim and was arrested soon after for suspected theft. Zhang, who is representing himself in court, pleaded not guilty and denied taking the items. A pre-trial conference will be held on March 27. Read more
