Bandar Seri Begawan - A 23-year-old local was jailed for 3 months by the Magistrate’s Court yesterday after he pleaded guilty to stealing a Sony Playstation.

Sani bin Sabli admitted to committing the theft of the said items from Abdul Rasheed Abdullah Packir Rawoother and selling it for $150 to a person in Kampong Ayer.

The court heard that on April 14, 2000 Abdul Rasheed was at his workplace, at Modern Motor Workshop Kampong Delima in Jalan Muara.

While he was at the workshop, the defendant arrived on a bicycle and asked him if he was selling a ‘Sony Playstation’ whereby Abdul Rasheed confirmed that he was and that it was in his room.

Prosecuting Officer Adina Mohd Aliddin told the court that Abdul Rasheed and the defendant then went to Abdul Rasheed's room situated near to the workshop. He then showed the defendant his Playstation, which he intended to sell for $450. The defendant then agreed to purchase the items and told Abdul Rasheed that he would come later.
