SINGAPORE: A woman who roped her boyfriend and his twin in to help steal S$57,000 worth of items from her own family was sentenced to probation on Thursday .
The court heard that Tan had planned to steal a safe from her 29-year-old older brother when her family was out.She planned to steal what court documents described as"piggy banks" in his room to make it look like there was a break-in, and later intended to steal S$34,000 in cash from her father's bag.
When they got to the BMW, Tan said she had left her phone behind, and pretended to head back home to get it. This was a ruse so she could carry out her plan. When Tan's brother returned home, he realised that his valuables, including the safe that contained a Rolex watch and cash, were missing. Tan and Jia Cheng got Koo to help break the safe open, which he managed to do so. Inside were two gold rings, a Rolex watch, a red packet filled with cash, two sets of 12 Zodiac coins and a plastic bag containing old Singapore dollar notes.
They recovered another S$20,000 in stolen cash that had been left at a friend's place for safekeeping and found the bag with S$7,100 cash.
