American dentist and engineer wife taught harsh lesson after SHOPLIFTING visiting one of the strictest countries on Earth

[MAIL] An American dentist and his engineer wife spent weeks behind bars after being caught red-handed stealing luxury items in notoriously strict Singapore.

The pair, Kapadia Husain Zoher, 35, and Kapadia Amatullah,

…I suspect Kapadia is their joint family name, given first in the Chinese style..

30, were arrested on June 23 after stealing from designer shops at Changi Airport.

Authorities said the couple, who are both US nationals, stole more than $750 of upmarket items from Louis Vuitton and Dior at the airport before trying to board their jet.

They made it all the way to their seats on a flight set for Mumbai before airport police hauled them away.

Cops said that CCTV from inside the airport captured the couple in the act, and both were swiftly prosecuted and subsequently pleaded guilty to theft.

Zoher was handed an 18-day jail sentence and his wife was sentenced to a week behind bars for the brazen shoplifting.

State Prosecuting Officer (SPO) Ng Chee Wee argued at their sentencing that Zoher 'had stolen out of greed.

'He had a habit of overspending, and he did not want to pay,' the prosecutor said.

The Times of India assumes the miscreants are of Indian origin.

#1 But, I'm sure it is perfectly reasonable to entrust one's dental care to this guy.

Absolutely no reason at all for the state Board of Dentistry to investigate.

Move along.
