SIBU: An employee of a shop selling healthcare products in Kanowit is suspected to have stolen several thousand ringgit and a tablet computer from his employer.
The 23-year-old went to work on Wednesday morning but disappeared around noon.
His employer discovered the theft around 6.30pm and lodged a police report.
Meanwhile, police arrested a man for allegedly stealing a box of beverages from a supermarket here yesterday.

The suspect has a previous record for theft.
He was arrested last month for stealing canned food from a store in Ding Lik Kong Road together with a friend.
