Teen gets reformative training for trafficking Kpods, kicking 84-year-old woman

A teenager in Singapore has been sentenced to a minimum of 12 months of reformative training for a series of offences, including kicking an 84-year-old woman in a wheelchair and trafficking Kpods. The teen, who also worked as a runner for a money laundering group and drove without a licence, pleaded guilty to seven charges and had 17 other charges taken into consideration.

The prosecution argued that the teen's offences were extremely serious and that probation was not a realistic option given the nature of his crimes and his history of reoffending. The judge deemed the teen physically and mentally fit for reformative training and disqualified him from holding any driving licence for two years, with a concession granted due to his youth.
