Kota Kinabalu: Two men who stole five boxes of frozen chicken wings belonging to their employer were each sentenced to three months’ jail.
Magistrate Wan Farrah Farriza Wan Ghazali imposed the sentence on Mohammad Adzwah Abdullah, 23, and Kenny Madik, 24, after they pleaded guilty to the charge.
The offence was committed at 3.44pm on Aug 29 this year at the company’s premises in Kg Dambai, Manggatal.
The charge was framed under Section 380 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same code, which provides for a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine upon conviction.
