Sheng Siong staff don security vests to deter theft

SINGAPORE - Staff of Sheng Siong Supermarket have joined a unique crime deterrent programme initiated by Jurong Police Division and Sheng Siong Supermarket.

The new Community Safety and Security Programme (CSSP) initiative known as Anti-Shop Theft Vest will involve the use of security vests to curb shop theft.

Supermarket staff at Block 6A Woodlands Centre Road helped launch the initiative by donning security vests with the words "SECURITY. May I help you?" printed at the back.

Staff will also be trained to spot potential thieves, making them security officers in combating shop theft at the supermarkets.

This initiative is currently implemented at three Sheng Siong outlets located within the Woodlands estate.
