Man Steals 140 Laptops Meant for National Cancer Centre Singapore Staff

SINGAPORE - A man conspired with a former IT contractor to steal 140 laptops meant for National Cancer Centre Singapore staff, and sold them for more than $68,000.

The company bought the laptops at $1,088 each and kept them in an office in NCCS. The room is usually locked, and CTC Global employees have to get a contractor’s pass and a key from a security desk to enter it. The next day, Shahrizal and Fairuz stole 10 laptops and sold them to the buyer for $600 each. Court documents did not say how they committed the theft.

Shahrizal then met Fairuz at the NCCS carpark and loaded the boxes into a car. Fairuz then sold the laptops to the same buyer for $15,000 in total. On March 25, 2023, a Saturday, Fairuz managed to get a contractor’s pass using a false name and requested the key to the office room. The police arrested Fairuz and Shahrizal, who still had $4,500 and $16,000 on them respectively from the proceeds of the crime.
