Canadian jailed for robbing StanChart bank in Singapore may escape caning

Canadian David James Roach arriving in Singapore on March 17 last year, after his extradition from Britain.- SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): A Canadian man who escaped with more than S$30, 000 after robbing a Standard Chartered Bank branch in Holland Avenue on July 7, 2016, was sentenced to five years jail and six strokes of the cane on Wednesday (July 7). However, he may not be caned as the Singapore Government had assured Britain that any corporal sentence would not be carried out in order to secure his extradition, and said last night it was working through the necessary procedures to fulfil this assurance.

Singapore has very low crime rates and the bank robbery had sparked debate about whether the wealthy Southeast Asian city state had become too complacent about security. David James Roach, now 31, fled Singapore on the same day as the robbery, but was later detained in Britain where authorities agreed to extradite him in March last year on the condition that he would not receive corporal punishment.
