Singer jailed for phone theft

JAKARTA (JP): An amateur club singer was jailed for four months by the Central Jakarta District Court yesterday for stealing a neighbor's cellular phone and running up Rp 4 million in charges.

Yenny Debby Kaligis, a 33-year-old resident of Kebon Kosong in Central Jakarta, was found guilty of theft. She had pleaded guilty.

Prosecutor Shinta S. said Yenny visited Alfred L. Tohan's house in November last year to chat with his wife. "While in the house, she saw the cell phone on top of a cabinet, took it and used it without permission," she said.

Alfred later filed a complaint with the police. (12)
