The Magistrate's Court yesterday handed down prison sentences to two local men who pleaded guilty to theft charges in separate cases.

An employee of Bandtree Sdn Bhd, Mardalilani bin Muhammad Niah, 43, was sentenced to 12 months of prison for stealing a go-kart belonging to his employer, from the garage at the Royal Brunei Polo and Riding Club in Jerudong, early this year.

With the help of another person, Mardalilani loaded the go-kart onto a pick-up truck, and brought it home.
He instructed his son to sell the go-kart on Facebook, where it was seen by another Bandtree employee, who immediately alerted the police.

In the second case, Muhammad Alif bin Abdullah @ Anthony anak William, 41, was sentenced to four months of imprisonment for stealing car spare parts from the storehouse of the GKL Workshop in Kampong Serambangun, Tutong, on the afternoon of November 22.

Muhammad Alif was spotted by a workshop employee, while trying to carry the spare parts away through a fence.

He was apprehended by other personnel from the workshop.

Magistrate Azrimah binti Haji Abdul Rahman presided over both cases brought by Prosecutor Muhammad Qamarul Affyian bin Abdul Rahman.
