Sharing a video of the incident on its Facebook page on Sunday (Sept 20), the stall, Durian Lah, said it was giving the man a chance to return the phone, warning that it would otherwise lodge a police report.
"You stole our staff's mobile phone in broad daylight. We are giving you the opportunity to return it immediately," it wrote.
"If it is not returned, we will make a police report and provide the relevant CCTV footage and evidence to the authorities. Please do the right thing and return the phone."
