SINGAPORE — For more than a year, a supervisor at Marks & Spencer noted down customers' credit card details, which he used to buy almost S$9,000 worth of meals.

Teo Kai Seng, 29, was on Monday jailed for three months after pleading guilty to three charges under the Computer Misuse Act. Eight similar charges were considered for sentencing.

He did this whenever he attended to customers at the cash register and there were only two other staff members working in the kitchen and the office. Teo would offer to buy food for his colleagues, claiming that the Waitrr app gave him a 10 per cent discount and he would extend the savings to them. This allowed Teo's offences to go undetected until Oct 27, 2020, when the daughter of a victim lodged the first police report. Teo was traced and arrested on Aug 24, 2021.
