A MAN who was charged a week ago with burglary of a Chinatown
goldsmith shop involving $300,000 worth of jewellery was further
accused of 16 charges.
The property involved in the fresh charges against Tan Kok Leng,
29, amounted to more than $100,000.
Among other things, he is alleged to have committed
housebreaking and theft at two jewellery shops at Tiong Bahru Plaza
and Jurong Point, breaking into HDB flats and theft from various
people.
The prosecution asked that he be remanded for another week as
more charges would be tendered at the next mention.
Tan was remanded again until Oct 12.
