SIBU (June 30): A 33-year-old man was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment by the Magistrates’ Court yesterday after he pleaded guilty to the theft of a motor vehicle over 10 years ago.
Joseph Ngadan was charged under Section 379A of the Penal Code and read together with Section 511 of the Penal Code.
Section 379A of the Penal Code carries a minimum one-year imprisonment but not more than seven years and also liable to a fine upon conviction.
