| Defendant accused of causing damage even to Sham Shui Po police station. |
A Filipina asylum seeker accused of theft and criminal damage has been returned to jail after her latest bail offer of $5,000 was refused.
E. Acero, aged 34, sashayed into the court from the
detainees’ holding area and acted like she had mental problems, when she
appeared Tuesday (Jan. 23) at West Kowloon Court to hear her duty lawyer argue
for her release until the next hearing on May 3.

Her lawyer said that in addition to the cash bail, she
promised not to leave Hong Kong, not to contact witnesses, and not to go back
to where the offenses happened.
But Magistrate Jason Wan appeared unmoved and refused the
offer, citing the strong possibility that she will not show up in court.

He said she was facing serious charges for which evidence
against her was strong, and that she lacked ties to Hong Kong.
When she committed these offenses, she was on bail for an
earlier offense, Magisrate Wan added.

Acero is accused of stealing $2,000 in cash from a laundry shop on Fuk Wing St. in Sham Shui Po on Nov. 9, 2023, damaging the lock in a sixth floor flat on Yu Chau St. in Sham Shui Po on Nov. 10.
While being investigated
by police on that day, she damaged a wall and the frame of an intercom machine
inside the Sham Shui Po police station.
