Claiming to be a gangster, he warned a group of schoolchildren that he and his “brothers” would slash them if they did not hand him $2 each.
Aidealhira Firman, 23, even whipped out a knife to show the group of four he meant business.
But he was later persuaded by people in the neighbourhood to apologise and repay the $6 he had stolen, and was nabbed after one of the victims shared the incident on his class’ WhatsApp chat group.
Aidealhira was yesterday jailed for 14 weeks after pleading guilty last Friday to one count each of theft and criminal intimidation.
Five other related charges were taken into consideration.
Aidealhira, who was unemployed and living with his girlfriend, devised a plan to steal money from schoolchildren.
On March 26, he armed himself with a knife he found in the kitchen of his girlfriend’s house.
At 3.35pm, he approached a 13-year-old boy and three of his classmates at a playground in Teck Whye.
He told the four students he could protect them from other gangsters if they gave him $2 each, before threatening to slash them if they refused.
