7 years corrective training for man who drugged senior women to steal their jewellery

SINGAPORE — A man who fed elderly woman drugs in order to steal their belongings was sentenced to seven years of corrective training on Friday .

Oh had earlier admitted to three counts each of theft and causing hurt by poison. Another five charges, including theft, were taken into consideration for his sentencing. Then, he stole from two women over two days at Jurong Polyclinic in December 2012. He drugged one of the women, a 62-year-old retiree, before pocketing her belongings.

The next day, the woman’s granddaughter reported seeing Oh outside her residence with a bunch of keys, but he was unable to find a key that matched the door’s lock. A police report was lodged on 8 September. Believing that Oh was a polyclinic staff member, the woman consumed the medication and became drowsy. He then stole a gold-coloured bracelet from the woman and brought her out of the polyclinic. He sent the woman to National University Hospital in a taxi after observing that she was losing consciousness.

The woman became dizzy and tired after eating the medication. She fell asleep on the sofa in the living room while Oh ransacked the drawers in the house and stole several items. The victim woke up hours later.
