SINGAPORE - A disgruntled store assistant who broke into his employer's office and stole cash of about $11,800 was jailed for 26 months on Tuesday.
Mohammad Taufik Mustafa, 44, pleaded guilty to housebreaking and theft by night at Premier Carpet at Jalan Pemimpin off Marymount Road on May 17 last year.
A district court heard that sometime from March to May last year, Taufik was unhappy with the company because he felt that it was underpaying him.
Sometime in May the same year, he thought of "doing something" to the company.
