A VIETNAMESE national was packed off to jail for four weeks on Thursday after he was found guilty of fraudulently having stolen property. Pham Le Tuan Kiet, 24, was convicted after a trial of having a $150 cellphone and two laptops at National University of Singapore, Kent Ridge Crescent, on Oct 21 last year. When police arrested him at the university, he could not explain satisfactorily how he got the three items. Pham, then a final-year chemical engineering student, also pleaded guilty on Thursday to stealing an undergraduate's polo shirt worth $15 from the corridor of Block 5, Raffles Hall, NUS, on Oct 10 last year. Pham, who has a theft conviction, had another theft charge considered during his sentencing by District Judge Liew Thiam Leng.
