A video of an elderly man on a personal mobility aid (PMA) taking a wallet from a store was uploaded to Facebook by one Tgs Hannah on Sunday, Dec. 22.

According to the caption of the video, the incident reportedly occurred at 3pm on Dec. 22 at Punggol Waterway Point.

The post, which included a reminder to shop owners to "please be aware of theft", has been shared more than 500 times at the time of writing.

What happened

The video, which was taken from inside the shop, shows a man approaching the store's display counter on his PMA.

He then reaches over, takes a black wallet and appears to examine it.

After a few seconds of flipping the item over and looking at it from different angles, he places the wallet into a white bag resting on his PMA while looking around.

He then continues to glance around as he backs away from the counter, out of the store, and then continues on his way.

Waterway Point aware of incident

A spokesperson for Waterway Point confirmed that the incident occurred on their premises and said that they are aware of it.

The spokesperson added that the store is "looking into the matter".

It is unclear which store the wallet was taken from, and if a police report has been made.

Mothership has reached out to the Facebook user who uploaded the video.
