Mohamed Loqman Mohamed Yusof, 32, was sentenced to two years’ jail on May 28, 2026, after pleading guilty to criminal breach of trust for stealing 74 laptops valued at $148,000 meant for schools under the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore [1, 2, 3].
Loqman had worked as a storeman at Micro 2000 Technology, which supplies IT equipment such as laptops to MOE schools, since June 2024 [1, 2, 3]. His responsibilities included managing the inflow and outflow of devices, scheduling deliveries, and safeguarding warehouse keys, of which he was the sole custodian [1, 2, 3].
Investigations found that Loqman stole the laptops on three separate occasions between March and June 2025 [1, 2, 3]. He sold the stolen laptops on Carousell, an online shopping platform, making more than $10,000 in proceeds, but has not made any restitution to Micro 2000 Technology [1, 2, 3].
Suspicion arose on June 10, 2025, when a logistics provider reported 90 laptops missing after an unsigned delivery order dated May 29, 2025 [1, 2, 3]. A senior manager’s review of warehouse inventory uncovered discrepancies, and CCTV footage from June 3, 2025, showed Loqman loading laptops into his vehicle [1, 2, 3].
The court sentenced Loqman to two years’ jail following his guilty plea, closing the case on May 28, 2026 [1, 2, 3].
