Two full-time national servicemen(NSFs) named Nizar Syafic Ismadi & Mohamed Iskandar Mohamed Ansari from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were charged in court for allegedly committing crimes such as theft and offences under the Computer Misuse Act at the organisation’s 3rd Division in Yishun.
According to Straits Times, 21-year-old Nizar Syafiq Ismadi, a lance corporal who enlisted on February 16, 2021, was charged with seven offences on Friday.
Mohamed Iskandar Mohamed Ansari, a corporal who enlisted about two months after him and is his suspected accomplice, was charged with four offences.
According to S, sn SCDF official said in a statement that “Both NSFs are attached to the 3rd SCDF Division, performing non-front-line duties such as assisting division officers to prepare for operational exercises, parades, in-camp training and mobilisation exercises”.
“Both NSFs will continue with their non-front-line duties pending the outcome of their court case. We are unable to comment further, as court proceedings are ongoing.”
The two NSFs are accused of stealing a pair of Apple AirPods Pro worth $379 from a man known as Leon Tay at the guardroom of 3rd SCDF Division some time between July 9 and Aug 1, 2022. Details about Mr Tay were not disclosed in court documents, according to ST.
Iskandar is accused of stealing Mr. Tay’s Apple iPhone, which is worth $1,149, on or about August 1, 2022, when he was at an office at the 3rd SCDF Division.
About two days later, Nizar is alleged to have sold the item for $600 at a store on Yishun Avenue 5.
The two NSFs are also charged with deducting $690 from Mr. Tay’s bank account after Nizar allegedly assisted Iskandar in obtaining unauthorised access to Mr. Tay’s Google Mail account at the division on or about August 5, 2022, in order to get a one-time password.
He is also accused of obstructing justice when he engaged two guys to remove the weapon from his motorcycle later that day in order to destroy evidence.
In a separate incident, Nizar is accused of teaming up with a 21-year-old male to assault a 25-year-old victim on June 27, 2021, approximately 2 am in New Bridge Road close to Clarke Quay Central shopping centre.
