Caught shoplifting in singapore

Asked May 1, 2007, 07:03 AM — 25 Answers
I was arrested for shoplifting in singapore .. Am on employment pass.. They have put me under offence 380 ch 244 and one more offence(misc.).. I was stelaing clothes worth $80 in one shop and in my bag unfortunately had 3 more clothes .. 2 with price tags of 225 $ each and one without tag.. But expensive skirt.. I told them skirt is a gift and the other two clothes I have shoplifted before getting caught.. What would be the consequences.. I have a clean record and first time offender.. And I am emotionaly disturbed because of living in an alien country for the first time all alone..would I lose my job.. Will I get jail term .. Will they tell my employer... How to avoid press.. I really would kill myself rather than office people knowing about it ... Am also in mid life crisis around 35.. What ar4e chances that I will just be fined and allowed to continue my job

Hi, what if you are convicted for the second time? First time I shoplifted things from BHG worth $80 bt the second time I stole an iphone but it has already been returned to the owener. She threathen me tt she will call police and when I returned it, they call the police

But the reason why I stole the phone was to cover my final semester school fees. Will they show me any leniency? Will I get a sentence or a fine? If so how long and how muhc? I am terrified and I am not 21 yet. I'm 20 yrs old.

Please ans my question

Friends how much time did police took to close these cases? Will they take away your passport while investigating? Also for the first offence have you got warning?

If the police let you go off with a stern warning, will there be a record left behind?
