SINGAPORE: A jobless man released from prison in 2014 after a five-year corrective training sentence for a string of offences returned to his old ways, this time targeting grocery shoppers who left their valuables unattended in their trolleys.
Goh stole her bag, which contained about S$1,400 in valuables, including a S$500 Gucci wallet, an Apple iPhone, several credit cards, S$400 and cash in several other currencies.AdvertisementOn Mar 25 last year, he stole an S$800 iPhone 7 and an OCBC Frank Visa credit card from a man who had left them in his trolley at Giant supermarket in VivoCity.
He also met up with a woman he got to know through a social media application and stole her phone on the pretext of borrowing it for a call.In total, Goh committed 59 offences across six months from Nov 14, 2017 to May 13, 2018, said the prosecutor.All the shoppers who had been stolen from had made police reports, and Goh was arrested after being placed on the police's wanted list.
The prosecutor on Wednesday urged the court to sentence Goh to a minimum of seven years' preventive detention, saying his offences had escalated from the last conviction. Corrective training, on the other hand, is for the reformation of the accused, and the judge said he was of the view that there is scope to work towards Goh's reform.
