The Kowloon City Court has elevated to the District Court a domestic helper’s two cases of theft of 10 watches from her employer and a charge of misleading the police by reporting a burglary on their house.
In the first charge, Vanessa Vallespin , 39 years old, is accused of stealing a watch from her male employer at Sunderland Estate in Kowloon
Tong on Dec. 2, 2024, according to information filed by the Kowloon City Police.
She was then accused of stealing another another nine watches
two days later.

Although the total value of the watches was not disclosed in the charges,
the amount must have been substantial enough for Acting Principal Magistrate Ko Wai-hung to
elevate the case to DC.
The third charge, “knowingly misleading a police officer by
giving false information” stemmed from Vallespin allegedly telling a police officer
investigating the two thefts that unknown persons who broke into the house were
responsible.
