A 50-year-old man surnamed Lin in New Taipei City was sentenced to 6 months in jail and fined 180,000 NT dollars for breaking into a B&B in Jiufen last July and stealing two ice cream bars worth around 30 NT dollars. Despite the low value of the stolen items, he was convicted of aggravated theft under the Criminal Code. The man had previous convictions for theft and drug offenses, having been released from prison only in January last year before reoffending in less than six months.
