SINGAPORE – Two men are set to be charged on Oct 14 after they allegedly stole bank cards from the bags of passengers on a flight from Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore.
In a statement on Oct 13, the police said the two men, who are Chinese nationals aged 54 and 59, were involved in two separate cases of theft on board an aircraft.
Officers from the Airport Police Division had conducted an operation at Changi Airport Terminal 4 at about 9.45am on Oct 12.
During the operation, the officers arrested the two men after they were found with three bank cards that did not belong to them.
Further investigations revealed that the men allegedly stole the bank cards from two passengers’ bags during a flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore.
Each man allegedly took the bank cards from a different passenger’s bag stored in an overhead compartment, and disembarked without the victims realising that their cards were missing.
The two men are expected to be charged with theft on board an aircraft.
If found guilty, they may be jailed for up to three years, fined, or both.
In their statement, the police advised travellers to keep their cash or valuables with them instead of placing these inside the overhead compartments.
They should also be wary of passengers seen retrieving or rummaging through baggage in the overhead compartments during their flight.
The police added that travellers should alert the cabin crew immediately if they see such suspicious behaviour.

新加坡——两名男子涉嫌从越南胡志明市飞往新加坡的航班上，从乘客的行李中窃取银行卡，将于10月14日被起诉。
警方在 10 月 13 日的一份声明中表示，这两名男子均为中国公民，年龄分别为 54 岁和 59 岁，他们涉嫌在飞机上犯下两起不同的盗窃案。
10月12日上午9点45分左右，机场警察部门的警员在樟宜机场4号航站楼开展了一次行动。
行动中，警方在两名男子身上搜出三张不属于他们的银行卡，并将他们逮捕。
进一步调查显示，这两名男子涉嫌在从胡志明市飞往新加坡的航班上，从两名乘客的行李中偷走了银行卡。
据称，每名男子分别从存放在头顶行李舱中的不同乘客的包里取走了银行卡，并在受害者不知情的情况下下飞机，而受害者却没有意识到自己的银行卡不见了。
预计这两名男子将被指控在飞机上盗窃。
如果罪名成立，他们可能被判处最高三年监禁、罚款或两者并罚。
警方在声明中建议旅客将现金或贵重物品随身携带，不要将其放在头顶行李架内。
他们还应该警惕在飞行途中被发现从头顶行李舱中取出或翻找行李的乘客。
警方补充说，旅客如果发现此类可疑行为，应立即通知机组人员。
