A LOCAL duo were jailed for two years by the Magistrate’s Court yesterday after they pleaded guilty to a charge of trespassing into a house compound and stealing car sports rims and a generator.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Syazwani binti Jumat revealed to Chief Magistrate Pengiran Masni binti Pengiran Haji Bahar that Shamsul Rizal bin Mohd Ibrahim, 34, and Awangku Saiful Nizam bin Pengiran Matassan, 37, trespassed into the compound of a house at Kampong Perpindahan Lambak Kanan during the wee hours of February 22, 2019 and opened a store room outside the house.

The duo then stole four pieces of 22-inch rims fitted with tyres, four pieces of 18-inch rims fitted with two tyres and a generator.

The house owner realised on the same morning that his locked storeroom had been broken into and found his belongings missing.

The house owner lodged a police report and investigations which led to the duo’s arrest.
