He then quickly wheels his loot away, leaving the washing machine door ajar.
The customer whose clothes were ‘stolen’ said that this is not the first time the man has done so.
“Seems that he is always loitering [near the laundromat] between 1am and 3am to see if there is anyone or any laundry there,” they shared.
“If anyone knows this man, could you ask them to contact me? Thank you so much.”
The customer added that they had filed a police report.
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Police confirmed that a report was lodged and said investigations are ongoing.
