Although alleged scamster Charlene Singh pleaded guilty to charges of theft on Tuesday, her two young children may have saved her from a jail term.
Singh appeared briefly at the Howick Magistrate’s
Court after being arrested for stealing valuables from an Amberglen
Retirement Village resident in September last year.
She pleaded guilty to stealing a gold
watch, a silver chain, a Celtic cross, a gold wedding band, a leather pouch
containing R500 cash, credit and banking cards, a driver’s licence, identity
documents, two bottles of perfume and a cheque book.
After Singh’s defence pleaded with the court
for leniency saying she has two minor children dependents, Ngubane handed down
a 12-month jail sentence which was suspended for five years.
