Briton stole Rolex in hotel fraud

A Pregnant British woman who charged a £10,000 Rolex watch to a non-existent Singapore hotel room has been jailed there for three months.

Rebecca Philips, 26, asked a shop at the Raffles Hotel to bill a bogus room number. She did the same with a pair of jeans worth £90 and a £7 cocktail. But she was not a guest at the hotel and was staying with friends en route to Australia.

Philips was jailed for three months, backdated to January, when she was arrested.

Lawyer Edmond Pereira said his client is 12 weeks' pregnant and stole the items because she was depressed about breaking up with her boyfriend in Britain.
