Eastern Court in Sai Wan Ho |
A
39-year-old Filipina domestic helper turned around on Apr 16 and admitted a
charge of stealing assorted clothing items from a Causeway Bay
outlet of Uniqlo a month ago. Her guilty plea drew a three-day jail sentence,
suspended for a year.
Lulu
Pasia pleaded guilty before Eastern Magistrate Peter Law. But at her
arraignment last month, she denied the charge
Pasia admitted
entering the Uniqlo shop at Lee Plaza at 2:45pm on Mar 17, then took eight pairs
of boxer shorts, eight pairs of socks, three umbrellas, one backpack and one
handbag, which she all placed in her backpack.
Unknown
to her, she was seen by staff at the shop in the act of taking the items. When
she left the shop without paying for them she was stopped and searched.
After all
the stolen items were found in her backpack, the police were called.
Law asked
Pasia if she had anything to say before sentencing her. The woman replied “I
was silly,” adding that all she wanted now was to go home for good as she no
longer worked.
In an
earlier hearing of her case, the prosecution said Pasia’s employer was going to
terminate her job contract on Apr 5 because of the incident.
After
sentencing, Pasia asked if she would be kept longer in Hong
Kong , and the magistrate replied she could go back home. – Vir B. Lumicao
