Serial burglar stole $1m in 2-year spree
-
A SERIAL burglar for whom jail terms and corrective training stints have merely been breaks between his housebreaking sprees has been put away for a long time - 13 years.
Odd-job worker Bay Buck Siong, 48, will also have to suffer 24 strokes of the cane for having stolen almost $1 million in cash and property over two years.
His latest series of break-ins involved about 140 flats from Ang Mo Kio to Tampines and Woodlands between February 2009 and January this year, and began barely six months after his release from a nine-year and 24-stroke sentence.
He sold most of the stolen items in Chinatown and Geylang, and gambled away all the cash.
When he vowed yesterday not to commit any more offences, District Judge Paul Quan was sceptical.
The judge said to him: 'Your track record does not give me the confidence that you will not re-offend.'
