SINGAPORE — A teenager, who carried out a string of thefts that include pilfering from a mosque’s donation box and stealing two e-bikes, was ordered to undergo 18 months of supervised probation on Wednesday (May 10).
The 16-year-old will also have to perform 80 hours of community service and, if necessary, attend counselling, therapy, or psychological assessment or treatment alongside his father and stepmother.
The teenager cannot be named under the Children and Young Persons Act, which bans the publication of the identities of young offenders under age 18.Court documents, which identified the teenager as A1, stated that the offence took place at Masjid Kampong Delta, located along Delta Avenue in the early hours of June 13 last year.
After failing to pry this box open, they broke it free from its chains and threw it over the wall before leaving the vicinity with it.According to court documents, the teens stole a total of around S$274 over three nights. Investigations found that after breaking into the mosque on June 13, A1 told CA1 that he wanted to steal the e-bike, as A1 knew their mutual friend would park it along the corridor outside his home.
The judge then asked if he was able to comply with the terms of being placed on probation, or would prefer to be put on reformative training instead.
