Reported 12 months ago
A 50-year-old man surnamed Lin in New Taipei City broke into a homestay in Jiufen in July last year and stole two ice cream bars valued at around 30 NT dollars, resulting in a sentence of 6 months in prison and a fine of 180,000 NT dollars for aggravated theft. Despite having a criminal record for theft and drug offenses, the defendant was released from prison in January last year and committed another crime within half a year. The sentence was based on the aggravated theft law and the defendant's previous criminal record.
