He was charged under Section 414 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a jail term of up to seven years, or a fine, or both, on conviction.
He was jointly charged with Salina Danan, who pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The court set Oct 29 for mention pending instructions from the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s Office after being informed by Salina’s counsel that the defence had submitted a representation letter.
Earlier, the prosecution said the complainant discovered at about 6pm that a parcel containing a RM30 headscarf, which had been left outside the grille of his house by the delivery company, was missing.
A neighbour’s CCTV footage showed a man taking the parcel.
Following his arrests, Syafis who was then arrested led police to the place where the parcel had been discarded, and it was then recovered.
The complainant identified the recovered parcel as the one addressed to his wife, Adleen Nadhirah, with their home address stated on it.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Akash Singh prosecuted.
