A 30-year-old Singapore influencer, Genie Yamaguchi, has been ordered to wear an electronic tag and follow a night curfew after stealing over S$600 worth of items from Don Don Donki.
Yamaguchi, who runs a preserved flower business and a beauty clinic, pleaded guilty to shoplifting 27 products, including beauty items, bags, and food, totalling S$628.90 (Rs 43,483). She has reimbursed the store.
The court issued a three-month Day Reporting Order (DRO), which requires her to report regularly to a supervision centre and stay indoors from 10 pm to 6 am. The DRO also includes counselling and rehabilitation. This community-based sentence allows her to avoid a fine or jail term.
The theft took place on August 25 at Don Don Donki’s Orchard Central outlet around 2:30 am. Yamaguchi and her friend, Lee Suet Keay Cheryl, filled a cart with items like Colorrose Queen’s Cameo Blush (S$30.90), Melano CC Brightening Essences (S$25 each), and a Sanrio tote bag (S$67.90), then left without paying. Staff later identified them through CCTV, leading to their arrest on September 3.
Her lawyer said Yamaguchi regrets her actions and has promised not to re-offend. She has not made a public comment on the case.
