Two Filipino teenaged students have been placed under probation after being convicted of stealing two powerbanks from a convenience store.
Principal Magistrate Don So handed down an 18-month
probation order on an unnamed 14-year-old and a 12-month probation to C.
Julian, 17 years old, after the two agreed to the arrangement during a hearing
on Monday (Oct. 21).
They were charged with stealing two powerbanks worth $378
from a 7-Eleven store inside the MTR Sai Ying Pun station last April 24, in violation
of the Theft Ordinance.

Julian also forfeited a $2,000 bail for breaching the bond
in an earlier case.
Probation is an alternative penalty provided by the Probation
of Offenders Ordinance, under which the two are required to be under the
supervision of a probation officer for the periods specified for them to secure
“the good conduct of the offender or for preventing a repetition by him of the
same offence or the commission of other offences.”
Meanwhile, in a separate hearing held today, Magistrate So sentenced
a Filipina domestic helper to two weeks’ imprisonment, suspended for three
years, after she pleaded guilty to stealing $1,000 cash from her employer.
Margie Casis, 42 years old, was convicted of stealing the
cash last Sept. 20 at her employer’s flat in Kornhill, Quarry Bay.
