He browsed through several Buddhist amulets on display tables. Finding them to his liking, Sew once more had the idea of stealing them.
The defendant grabbed two amulets, hid them in his palm, and placed them in his pockets. However, the stall owner noticed his actions when he pocketed a third one.
The stall owner ended up detaining Sew and taking back the three amulets, valued at S$180 in total.
Sew attempted to leave a few times but was stopped. Police officers eventually arrived and arrested him.
Man who stole durians from Bukit Batok stall had prior theft offences
On 15 Sept 2025, Sew pleaded guilty to two counts of theft, one for each incident.
The prosecution highlighted the defendant’s prior criminal record, which included jail time for theft and burglary.
They pointed to the premeditation of the durian theft, including attempting to disable the CCTV cameras, as well as his committing another theft just two weeks later.
As such, the prosecution requested a severe sentence as deterrence.
Defendant made compensation for nine stolen durians
Sew’s lawyer claimed that his client had been diagnosed with depression and was not taking medication at the time of the crime.
The defence stated that Sew had already made compensation for the durians and is currently receiving treatment for his depression. They therefore sought leniency from the judge.
Ultimately, the judge gave the defendant a sentence of nine weeks in jail.
Sew said his elderly mother had been diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, and he had to go to the hospital for an examination.
The judge thus agreed to defer his jail sentence.
