Bandar Seri Begawan - Two Locals charged in the recent iPhone cheating case were sentenced to two months' imprisonment by the Bandar Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Khairul Azli bin Japar, 27, and Suhardy bin Musa, 31, went to Gadong Centrepoint in a car on June 10, 2008 and parked at the back of the building.
Khairul Azli went up to the Piano Lounge and met with the victim as agreed after earlier having said that he wanted to buy the phone.
But Khairul made up the story saying that he had to show the phone to his wife first who supposedly was waiting downstairs in the car.
Both Khairul and the victim went downstairs to where Suhardy was waiting in the car. Khairul quickly got into the car and they fled the scene. The victim gave chase but did not manage to
catch up.
Police were informed by the victim of the get-away vehicle's number plate which he saw earlier that night. The defendants were arrested later.
