Lee lost his job in early December 2021. He wanted to earn money quickly, so he decided to steal items and sell them for cash.

He decided to steal from three Decathlon outlets in Singapore as he knew the company has the largest sports store in Singapore, and he liked sports, the prosecutor said.

Between December 2021 and January 2022 he stole several items from Decathlon outlets worth S$715, including a saddle bag, a bike tool box and an 11ft paddle board.

On Jan 15 this year, Lee drove his mother's car to a Decathlon outlet at Stadium Boulevard, even though he was banned from driving.

He walked into the store and picked up an X100 three-seater blue kayak valued at S$700. He carried it like a backpack, tore off the RFID tracking tag and walked out with it.

He then placed it in the boot of the car and drove off. He later sold it on Carousell for S$500. To date, the kayak has not been recovered.
