An upset laundromat customer filed a police report after an elderly man allegedly stole their clothes from a Sparklewash laundromat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident happened on March 12 at about 1.40am at 324 Serangoon Avenue 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In CCTV footage shared on Instagram page sgfollowsall on Friday (March 13), the elderly man is seen wheeling an empty trolley over to four washing machines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He looks around before opening one of the machines and slowly pulling out all the clothes, piling them onto his trolley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

@asiaone<\/a> Social media commenters are divided on whether the customer should have left their clothes at the shop. \u2060 \u2060 #sgnews<\/a> #singapore<\/a> #theft<\/a> #laundromat<\/a> \u266c original sound – AsiaOne<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He then quickly wheels his loot away, leaving the washing machine door ajar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The customer whose clothes were ‘stolen’ said that this is not the first time the man has done so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If anyone knows this man, could you ask them to contact me? Thank you so much.”<\/p>\n

The customer added that they had filed a police report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Police confirmed that a report was lodged and said investigations are ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
