Yuen, a former member of the defunct Cantopop boy band E-kids, was arrested on Wednesday after he was spotted acting suspiciously by patrolling officers in To Kwa Wan, police said.
He allegedly stole items from a Wellcome supermarket and was carrying a credit card belonging to someone else, a police spokesman said.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting. The case is being handled by the Kowloon City district investigation team.
