The Police have arrested two men, aged 44 and 34, for their suspected involvement in a case of theft.
On 3 September 2023 at about 9.35am, the Police received a report of a theft along Chander Road. Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim had been sleeping at the said location when he was awakened by an unknown man purportedly stealing his handphone and cash amounting to $30. The man then allegedly handed the items over to another man before they both left the location.
Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police cameras and CCTVs, officers from Central Police Division established the identity of the men, aged 44 and 34 respectively, and arrested them on 14 September 2023. The handphone was recovered and seized as case exhibit.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the two men are believed to be involved in other cases of theft.
The men will be charged in court on 16 September 2023 with theft with common intention under Section 379 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to three years, a fine, or both.
The Police have zero tolerance towards such brazen acts of crime and will spare no effort to apprehend such offenders and deal with them in accordance with the law.
