SINGAPORE COMPUTERS STOLEN FROM COMPANY'S OFFICE BY EMPLOYEE Singapore Swing: Case File

JAILED FOR STEALING GOODS FROM OWN WORKPLACE

AN ELECTRICAL fitter was jailed for two years yesterday for breaking into and stealing $32,624 worth of goods from his company's office.

On Sept 28 last year, Lim Se Hing, had hidden himself on a staircase landing at Brown Technologies in the Eunos Techpark after office hours and waited for the last person to leave.

Lim, 34, used a card to tamper with the office door to get in, then went up one floor to switch off the power supply to the closed-circuit television recordings. He took the CCTV hard disk with him and placed it inside the cargo lift.

Among the items he stole were seven desktop computers, 13 LCD monitors, three laptop computers and a trolley.

He loaded the stolen items into a company van and drove away, but turned himself in the next day.

A second charge of stealing the company van was taken into consideration.
