HE WAS caught stealing four bottles of Heineken beer from a
7-Eleven store in River Valley Road on Christmas Day.
Released on bail, Antony Karl Pugh, 32, was at it again a day
later.
A store security officer saw the British businessman opening and
drinking a 187ml bottle of Jacob's Creek wine in the NTUC Fairprice
store in City Square Mall in Kitchener Road.
Pugh then attempted to leave the store carrying a bag of five
oranges and a big bottle of Rosemount wine stuffed in the back
pocket of his jeans, without paying for any of the items.
In court on Friday, Pugh, who arrived here on Dec 11, said he
was intoxicated. He was fined $1,000.
