Before the victim could react, Tan then grabbed the man’s private parts and touched the area repeatedly. After opening the wallet, which contained S$125 in cash, a bank card and the victim’s identity cards, Tan commented that there was a lot of money before fleeing with the wallet. Deputy Public Prosecutor Norman Yew told the court that the victim had then reported the incident to mall security personnel. The police were then called.
DPP Yew told the court of Tan’s previous convictions for various offences including theft, cheating and criminal breach of trust.
