A 19 y.o YP was given one year and nine months probation for stealing female undergarments and primary school uniforms from HDB flats to wank at the staircase landings.
He would take the stolen apparels to touch and smell before masturbating at staircase landings.
After he is done with his act, he would leave them at the dry risers before fleeing from the scene.
First offence (3 Sep 2020)
He went to a HDB block at Jurong West in the afternoon to steal two skirts, a top, and one set of P.E. attire from a unit on the eighth floor.
He then climbed up to the 10th floor to fulfil his fantasies at the staircase landing and hid them in a dry riser there before leaving.
A police report was filed by the unit’s occupants and the YP was arrested a month later.
Further investigations showed that he had done this to the same unit on seven previous occasions when the police also found dresses and bras there.
Second offence (5 Feb 2021)
He did not stop his acts even after he was caught for the first time.
He went to a flat in Jurong East on that evening to take a pair of underwear and two primary school P.E. tops from a sixth floor unit before heading to the eighth floor to pcc again.
Again, he stupidly reused the same modus operandi and left the stolen items at the dry riser again.
The owner too made a police report, but was unable to recover the clothes this time.
Under his probation conditions, he has to serve 50 hours of community service, stay indoors between 10am to 6pm and also attend offence-specific cognitive behavioural treatment.
Adult offenders for theft could have received a jail term of up to three years or a fine or both.
