Mother Jailed 14 Months For Stealing Two Packets Of Milo
She was said to be a drug addict and repeat offender.
A mother has been sentenced to 14 months in jail after she was caught stealing two packets of Milo at a supermarket in Terengganu on May 25. The 43-year-old Suhaini Mohd, who was a repeat offender, pleaded guilty as the charge was read to her before Magistrate Engku Nurul Ain Engku Muda, who then passed the sentence on her.
Suhaini aroused the suspicion of the supermarket owner after he watched the CCTV footage. He then followed Suhaini but she escaped, leaving her motorcycle at a bus station in Marang.
She was finally captured by police two weeks later on June 6, where she was arrested at her home in Kampung Baru Kuala Abang, Dungun after they managed to track her number plate.
Buletin TV3 also reported that Suhaini is a drug addict and has three criminal records for stealing between 2019 and 2021.
Suhaini was charged under Section 380 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail sentence of 10 years and a fine upon conviction. She also faces imprisonment, a fine or whipping for a second or subsequent offence.
The case was prosecuted by Prosecuting Officer Assistant Superintendent Othman Ibrahim while Suhaini was unrepresented.
