A Filipino who tried to enter a Hung Hom flat last year, has
been sentenced by the District Court to 30 months in jail for attempted robbery.
Deputy District Judge Timothy Harry Casewell meted the sentence
on Arnulfo de la Rosa, aged 47, after the Filipino pleaded guilty during a
hearing Thursday (Oct. 23) at the Tsuen Wan Law Courts.

De La Rosa, who is unemployed and has no permanent address, has
been in jail custody since he was arrested shortly after the crime on Aug. 9,
2023.
A Police complaint accused him of attempting to enter a flat
at Mei King Mansion on Mei King St., Hung Hom, “with an intent to steal
therein.” No loss was reported as a result of the incident.

The case was originally filed at Kowloon City Magistracy, where dela Rosa did not apply for bail, resulting in his detention for almost half of his
sentence so far.
In a separate case at Shatin Court, a Filipina who holds a recognizance
certificate for identification, was meted a 15-month jail sentence for working
illegally.
