Fiji Police are unaware of any information on the amount of money recovered after three men from Singapore stole $1million belonging to the Reserve Bank of Fiji in Singapore last August.

The matter was handled by the Singaporean Police.

Meanwhile the three men who were behind the theft have been jailed.

39 year old Abdul Quadir Katu Miah, a time keeper and container checker pleaded guilty and was jailed for a total of five years.

He had conspired with Azhar Abdul Shukor and Musa Mohammad to steal the money on board MV Pacific Voyager, berthed at Jurong Port between 5pm and 11pm on August 19th last year.

Lashing foreman Azhar, who entered the vessel with Musa and moved the $1million in $20 denominations, was given four years and nine months after pleading guilty.

Musa was jailed for four years.

The court heard that a container with 127 cases of Fijian notes amounting to $202million was loaded onto Pacific Voyager on August 19 and its doors sealed.

Abdul Quadir, who was working onboard the vessel, learnt about the money and broke into the container, where the notes were kept by using a cutter to break the bolt seals securing the container's right door.
