Singaporean fined for stealing women's underwear

Singapore - An unemployed Singaporean man suffering from depression was reportedly fined 2,000 Singapore dollars (1,212 US) for stealing 49 pieces of women's underwear.

According to the Straits Times, Cheng Chee Kam, 48, was caught red-handed in May when he tried to steal a red G-string from a washing line outside an apartment block.

Police later found 48 other pieces of underwear at his home.

Cheng's lawyer told the court Tuesday her client was suicidally depressed because his construction business had failed.

Under local law, Cheng could also have been jailed for up to three years. -- Agence France Presse
