A domestic helper was jailed for nine months today after she pleaded guilty at Kowloon City Court to two counts of theft.
Gracelyn Simbre, 41, was actually meted nine months’ jail
for each offence -- a violation of section 9 of the Theft Ordinance -- but Deputy
Magistrate Arthur Hong ordered that the two sentences run at the same time.
