letting in the “trespasser with intent to steal” one Patek Philippe watch, one Audemars
Piguet watch, one gold ring and one gold necklace, with a total value of
$745,300.
The case against her was violation of section 11(1)(a) of

With the charge withdrawn, Principal Magistrate Don So also cancelled the next hearing which was scheduled for April 8.
