Singapore — Man jailed for S$34,897 gold theft from ex-colleagues' flat

A former restaurant worker broke into a Singapore flat shared by his ex-colleagues in March 2026.

He took two gold bracelets, a gold ring and a gold necklace worth S$34,897.

Less than an hour later, he was on a ferry to Batam, Indonesia.

He was arrested when he came back in April and was jailed for eight months on November 10.

Prosecutors say the gold was never recovered and he has paid nothing back.
