The case arose after she allegedly stole the Bank of China Mastercard
credit card of her employer last May 18 at the latter’s flat in Sunway Gardens
on King’s Road, North Point.
The next day, May 19, she went to the KFC restaurant
downstairs and used the credit card to pay for food “with the intention of
permanently depriving the said company… by falsely representing that you were
authorized and entitled to use” the credit card, the charge alleged.
The third charge accused Narciso of using the card again on
May 19, this time at Luvenus Jewellery at Worldwide Plaza in Central, to buy
one gold ring.
She then allegedly proceeded to Friendly Jewelry Ltd. to buy
another gold ring, using the same credit card to pay.
