Two local men were yesterday given prison and caning sentences by the Intermediate Court after they pleaded guilty to an auto theft spree and several acts of burglary in February this year.

Awangku Haji Radiman bin Pengiran Rahman, 27, was handed a sentence of 74 months in prison and two strokes of the cane, while Muhammad Nur Faliq Fuii Abdullah, 32, received an 81-month jail sentence and four strokes.

Judge Pengiran Hajah Hanani binti Pengiran Haji Metussain was compelled to hand out stiff punishments in view of the pair's audacity in approaching people's driveways for the purpose of stealing cars.

The 10 charges alternated between the two men state that they stole four vehicles from four houses in Tutong, Kampong Sungai Hanching, Sungai Liang and Kuala Belait.

In the course of the car theft, they committed three acts of trespassing, two house burglaries and retained one stolen vehicle.

DPP Dayangku Hazirah binti Pengiran Yusof represented the Public Prosecutor in the case.
