PHOTO: PexelsSINGAPORE - In one of the worst cases of theft on board a plane, a man who stole cash worth about $120,000 from a fellow passenger on a Singapore Airlines flight was sentenced to 30 months' jail on Friday .
He left Hong Kong on March 5, for Singapore on Flight SQ899, and had in his backpack the sales proceeds from the fairs - US$131,100 and HK$122,000 in cash, as well as cash in other currencies with a total value of about $20,000. Those entering Singapore carrying more than $20,000 worth of cash are required by law to submit a full and accurate report to the police.
Peng then visited two remittance companies in People's Park Complex and placed orders to remit various sums to his wife and brother in China. The prosecution said none of the remittance orders was fulfilled, as the police were able to stop the money from being sent to China.
