Five other stolen items were found by
police in the records of a pawnshop where 45-year-old defendant Carmelita Nones
had hocked the two Piaget watches, the prosecutor told Magistrate Bina Chainrai.
The prosecutor said four other items were found in the
handbag of Nones when she was arrested in the Deepwater Bay residence of her employers, David
Liang and his wife, on Sept 4.
The couple subsequently confirmed their ownership of the 11 stolen
items, which they claimed were worth more than $1.1 million in total.
Nones was originally charged with having stolen the two watches
between Jul 27 and Aug 11 this year.

Chainrai adjourned the case until Nov 29 for legal advice and ordered the defendant remanded in custody.
