By Sonia K & Hj Minor Absah

Bandar Seri Begawan - Four local male youths aged between 15 and 21-years-old were apprehended on Christmas Eve for allegedly stealing a LG fridge, two CPU desk tops, two LCD monitors, two keyboards, and two units of computer mouse from a primary school in Kg Kapok.

The arrest was made when the Tutong Police Station CRO received a call from the public informing them that there were people sleeping in a car parked somewhere along Jalan Pengkalan Pinang in Penanjong Tutong. The stolen items were recovered along with a fridge that was allegedly sold to a family member of one of the detained youths.

Two of the youths also allegedly admitted to having been involved in another theft on December 20, at a religious school in Penanjong. The items stolen were an Acer Computer set with a CPU and a monitor.

The two were brought to court yesterday. Police advised members of the public not to purchase stolen good because if caught doing so, they are liable to be charged under Section 411, which carries a jail term of three years.

Meanwhile, in a separate case, two Thai women, both aged 28, were allegedly caught for solicitation at a dam in Binutan, Ulu Tutong. They allegedly charged $40 for their services. The Thai women were produced in court yesterday.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
