SINGAPORE - A youth who was released from a reformative training centre on Dec 2, 2020, was on a supervision regime when he returned to a life of crime the following year.

Lakshan Saravanan, now 20, and a teenage friend hatched a plan last October to steal a car with the intention to sell it to earn some"quick cash".

The case involving his alleged accomplice, now 19, is still pending. This younger youth cannot be named as those accused of committing offences before they turn 18 are covered under the Children and Young Persons Act. On Oct 29 last year, Lakshan and his alleged accomplice were having dinner when they hatched the plan to steal a car.

The pair carried out their plan at a Sengkang carpark at around 8pm the next day and Lakshan drove off in their victim's car when the man stepped out of his vehicle. In an attempt to avoid detection, Lakshan drove the stolen car to a carpark in Marine Parade Drive and swopped its licence plates with those belonging to another car before driving away.On Oct 31 last year, his female friend received a message on Telegram from somebody who expressed interest in buying the car.
