Singapore auxiliary police officer sentenced for theft

Singapore - A Singapore court Thursday sentenced an auxiliary police officer to seven years in jail after he used his inside knowledge of security procedures to steal 2 million Singapore dollars (1.37 million US dollars) from his employer, media reports said. Assigned to deliver nine consignments of cash to the premises of security company Certis Cisco on April 12, Stanley Ong Beng Hock, 28, managed to filch an envelope with two million Singapore dollars in 1,000-dollar-notes while packing and stacking boxes with money on trolleys. Ong, a Malaysian, then fled to his home country, where he was arrested two days later in Kuala Lumpur, the online edition of Straits Times newspaper reported. Before his escape, he gave 800,000 Singapore dollars to a colleague, Tan Chee Wey, 41, to pay back debts. The case against Tan is pending. The police seized a total of 1,4 million Singapore dollars of the loot, said the report.
