Woman jailed for
necklace theft
Daniel Lim
The Magistrate’s Court recently
ordered a local woman to serve
14 months’ imprisonment for the
theft of a locket necklace from an
elderly citizen.
Pe n g i r a n No r emywa t y @
Pengiran Siti Norameerah binti
Pengiran Haji Sahidon, 37, pleaded
guilty to the charge of stealing
under Section 379 of the Criminal
Penal Code, Chapter 22, along with
money laundering offences under
Section 3(1)(b) of the Criminal Asset
Recovery Order, 2012.
An investigation by the Lamunin
Police Station revealed that the
defendant had induced the 72-year-
old victim to slip off the locket
necklace, ostensibly for the purpose
of removing a leech from her neck.
After removing the leech, the
defendant grabbed the necklace
which was placed on a nearby table,
and left the victim’s house.
The police recovered the item,
which had been sold to a jewellery
shop for BND2,000.
The RBPF recovered the stolen items.
