A Filipino charged with stealing two t-shirts and two pairs of pants plunged into deeper trouble today after he failed to show up for a hearing today at the Kowloon City Court, resulting in an arrest warrant being issued against him.
A. Delfino, 24 years old, is accused of theft for
allegedly taking the clothes belonging to a Chinese, from outside a room in the
New Lucky House on Jordan Road last July 16.
Acting Principal Magistrate Ko Wai-hung ordered his arrest
after he did not come forward when his case was called, and court personnel confirmed
he was not just outside the court.

information filed by police.
Meanwhile, at the Kwun Tong court, domestic helper Riza Gamba
was given another chance to prepare for her defense against a charge of theft
after she appeared without a lawyer.
Gamba, aged 42, is accused of stealing $1,401.90 worth of food
and drink from Fresh Supermarket in Lohas Park in Tseung Kwan O, consisting of one
pack of apples, one bottle of sake,one bottle of wine, two cans of fruit
cocktail, one pack of pork knuckles, two packs of pork chop, one pack of
roasted pork belly, three cans of condensed milk, two recycling bags, one pack
of cream cheese and one pack of cherry tomato.
When asked why she had no lawyer, having been represented in
the previous hearing, Gamba said she lost track of the requirements because she
was depressed.
“You are facing a criminal charge. You should take it
seriously,” Chief Magistrate So Wai-tak said, advising her to go to the Duty
Lawyer Service, which had already provide her a lawyer for free.
“I give you a last chance,” he said as he gave her a
six-week adjournment to Oct.7.
Magistrate So set her free on $500 bail.
