One former delivery driver has been sentenced to 10 months in jail for looting foodstuff worth over $200,000 over the course of 10 months since Sept 2014. Enough to stock up for the apocalypse.
During his stint as a driver for Tan Brothers Logistics, 51-year-old Mohaya Arwee and three other accomplices stole thousands of cartons of food products from the warehouse, Channel NewsAsia reports.
Stuff stolen included 631 cartons of ikan bilis; 1,291 cartons of chicken-flavoured seasoning; 597 cartons of chicken powder; 282 cartons of Thousand Island dressing; 781 cartons of mayonnaise; and 454 cartons of tom yam paste.
Mohaya and other Lim Siang Huat Pte Ltd workers Muhammad Abdul Hafiz Abd Matin and Mohammed Fazli Mohammed Shafiee had planned to take food products from storage and sell them for their own profit. Delivery attendant Ahmad Samat was also informed of the plan and joined in.
They would meet at the warehouse early in the day before other workers came in. The stolen products would be loaded up on a lorry, transported and sold to shops in the Joo Chiat area. The profit would be split among themselves.
They jig was up back in July when the Chief Operations Officer noticed a large quantity of food products from the warehouse could not be accounted for, and the company's record of stocks did not tally with their sales. A police report was lodged.
The total value of all the products they stole? $212,120.57. So far, only $9,351.62 worth of items have been recovered.
The cases for the three other co-accused are still ongoing in court.
