65-year-old man arrested for stealing MOP24,000

A 65-year-old man with a history of theft was arrested in Toi San earlier this week after being linked to two shoplifting incidents in December and January. The suspect, identified as Zhao, is accused of stealing 24,000 patacas from two foreign employees. The victims, who reported the thefts to the police, said their cash was taken from their pockets while shopping. Police used store CCTV footage to identify Zhao as the thief. He confessed to the crimes, claiming that he had spent all the stolen money. Zhao was previously convicted three times for theft.
