SINGAPORE : The case of the National Serviceman who stole an army rifle will be heard in the High Court on November 27.

On December 5, a mention is scheduled at the Subordinate Courts.

Dave Teo Ming has been charged with stealing a rifle, unlawful possession of eight bullets and carrying a knife in a public place in April without lawful purpose.

His lawyer, Abdul Aziz Yatim, appeared in court on Wednesday to fix a date for a pre-trial conference.

He said Teo appeared via video conferencing from Queenstown Remand Prison.

The defence is considering whether to get a second opinion from another psychologist regarding Teo's state of mind at the time of the crime.

The prosecution had earlier produced a psychiatric report to show that Teo poses a risk to others and himself. - CNA/ms
