A MALAYSIAN odd-job labourer who allegedly stole from elderly
victims by posing as a bogus electrician had 76 more theft charges
filed against him.
This brings the total amount involved to more than $300,000, and
the number of charges against Tai Soon Leong to 112.
In the fresh charges, the 51-year-old is said to have stolen
between $20 and property amounting to $36,245 from victims between
January 2006 and June 2010.
The prosecution told the court that none of the property worth
$328,000, was recovered.
The victims are aged between 70 and 93.
Bail of $300,000 was offered. He will appear in court again on
Dec 22.
