Jailed For Robbing Goldsmith
Friday, 24th September 2010
Koh Koon Hong, a 35-year-old man, had pleaded guilty to the heist at Goldsmith located along New Upper Changi Road with Tan Choon Huat, 52, and Lee Yeow Kwang, 48, while armed with a 45cm-long knife on 23 April 2010. The three escaped on two stolen motorcycles and later sold the million dollar loot to a goldsmith at City Plaza for half a million dollars. The goldsmith melted the items into five gold rods which were later recovered by the police. Koh, who was arrested four days later, was given $80,000 for his part in the crime.
