"I can't really believe dat. Is at the station the wallet gone missing with all of my valuables. It is very shocking to me," the victim said.

The policeman said he lost documents plus $12,800.

"I have lost the police identification card, overseas drivers' licence, insurance card, plus other important documents," the constable told The Star.

Upon his return, he realised that his wallet was missing. The policeman sounded an alarm and started to search frantically for his belongings.
