Hi all, my friend was caught for shoplifting in singapore expo roughly abt 2 months ago. She stole a few makeups and some lingeries which cost abt 200 dollars in total.
She got arrested and got locked up in Bedok HQ that very night. She admitted everything of her mistake and the IO release her on bail. She was told to report back to the HQ 2 weeks after the offence,which she did. She gave her I.O the security bond and her I.O gave a stern warning in regards of the offence. No promises given but her I.O did highlighted that most prolly she will be given a warning or fine and she got to remain contactable.Whether she will be charged in court or not, is still unsure.
Barely about a month later, Bedok HQ called her up again to ask her to report to the station and see a different officer. Only when she was told that she got charged, and will have to turn up in court. She had to turn up in Court 23,charged under section 379 cap 224.
I am just curious, will she be just be fined or will she be sentenced because its her first offence and she was totally remorseful over it. She pleaded to the officer that she will not do the mistake again and the officer told her that they already requested for a charge reduction.
So if she turn up in court, will she be sentenced or will given a stern warning and just fine? This is her first offence and she had a clean record. And eversince, she had not done any other offences that broke the law.
I hope this questions will be answered.
Hard to say; all that depends on how merciful the judge is.
All I can say is to prepare for the worst, which involves a short jail sentence of a couple of weeks.

Let's hope the judge will be merciful.
What is your friend's age... that is important too.
If he/she is 21 and above (adult) then maybe the sentence could be stiff.
If he/she is below that... ie(minor/teenager) then the sentence can be lighter.
Since thats the first time offence... if u ask me... i think a stern warning will be all. I think the worst case scenario is a fine or send to some correction order/community work etc.\
Hope judge lenient.
Lastime I small I tot shop lifter lift the shop up one like weight lifter like that.

what is wrong with u ? fucktard.
The Judge will say............
'' Girl...........there's no such thing as a lousy thief.............only a lazy one............i hereby sentence you to one month of intensive training in stealing............so next time you won't get caught and bother me again..........''
How much did she pay for the security bond?
Depends how old she is...
Most likely outcome, IMO
Below 16 - Girls Home
Above 16 - Jail
If your friend has the disease that makes her wanna steal, maybe she can submit a medical report.... den probably under home arrest.

To TS: Hmm, depends. For first time, most likely it's a warning. Fine may be included. I personally feel that your friend will not be sentenced unless it's very serious.
And to zichuan- every where i go, i will definately see you making racist comments against malays. What is your problem actually? What? Every bad thing happens, must be malay people lah? We malay are just a waste of resource to you what? Isn't that what you think? Why when i start questioning you, you dun wan answer? No Balls ah?
I won't be shocked to see a policeman coming to your door knocking...
To TS: Just pray that nothing bad will happen. It will soon be over before you know it.

Hey zichuan, F**K OFF. If you wanna be a racist, get lost and find another forum.
Your comments on brownies are pretty much not needed here. TYVM.
she is 21... she is definitely so scared and so remorseful over the incident. I pity her.. I know this would definitely be her first and last. But there is one thing that i forgot to mention. She steal some but she actually paid for a certain things too... which cost her like 50 bux..
Atleast its not that she doesn't pay at all and steal everything. She still paid for some things. The unpaid merchandise is just an urge because she doesn't have enuff cash to pay. And her kind of person, she is not the one that breaks the law kinda person. This is just so stupid of her to actually steal, breaking the law for her first time thinking she wun get caught but she was wrong. Gotta admit, she is stupid. But she is willing to pay for the loss and everything.
Roughly, will she be given a chance? she is just so scared. Lets not talk abt racisms here. It has got nothing to do with the questions. Just need an opinion. So stop the racisms. Thank you.

its not whether she paid for some of the items or not... she stole, thats what matters to them.
i have a feeling it could be probation or a fine though. but there are cases where people get jailed a few weeks for it.
