Recalcitrant female burglar sentenced to 26 months jail

The 31-year-old woman, who is suffering from third-stage kidney cancer, had a habit of stealing from her employers, one of whom became her victim on her first day of work.

She had been fined S$4,000 in January 2008 for theft and was later sentenced to 28 months' jail in October the same year for offences including housebreaking and criminal breach of trust.

In this latest case, the woman had her daughter by her side when she broke into her former workplace, the Nessea Club at Upper Thomson Road, on October 30, last year.

The woman, who used to work at the club as a cashier, arrived there at around 12.30am after it closed for the day.

She used a hammer to break open a wooden door to the club's main office before asking her daughter to slip on a pair of gloves that she had brought along.


Together with her daughter, the 31-year-old managed to steal cash totalling more that S$11,000 from the club before fleeing the scene.

In addition to this, the petite, fair complexioned woman, who is currently expecting another child, had also misappropriated some S$6,000 of the club's money for her own use, on her first day of work on October 1, last year.

She had also stolen more than S$600 in cash just days earlier on September 23 while working as a cashier at Greenbegger Supermarket at Geylang Road.
