And don't bother making excuses for her. Just say "she was seen stealing a bike"Veryworried wrote: She was seen pushing away a bicycle which does not belong to her.
Too bad we don't have a practising lawyer among us here so we can't exactly tell you what would be the sentence. Maybe jail for few weeks? Maybe together with fine? We don't know.Veryworried wrote:Hi guys, i need your help here. A family member of mine was arrested for bicycle theft. She was seen pushing away a bicycle which does not belong to her.
And because she was panicked, she ran with the bicycle but the police caught her eventually. This is her first offence and it is our first time facing problems with the law. I do not know what to do! Please help me out here.
Can anyone tell me the lightest/heaviest sentence she could get? Jail or fine? Thanks and I appreciate your help and time by reading this..
Theft – Theft is committed when a person, intending to take dishonestly any movable property out of the possession of any person without that person’s consent, moves that property in order to effect the taking.[84] The penalty for theft is imprisonment of up to three years, or a fine, or both.[85] It is more common, however, for offenders to be charged with committing theft in a building, tent or vessel, which is used as a human dwelling, or for the custody of property. The penalty for this more serious offence is imprisonment of up to seven years, and also a fine.[86]

Unfortunately, theft of property is viewed very seriously in Singapore. Furthermore, she resisted and attempted to evade police which further compounds the issue.Veryworried wrote:Hi guys, i need your help here. A family member of mine was arrested for bicycle theft.
