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.

Policemen escort the suspect in the shoplifting case to the police station.

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.
