A Filipina domestic worker has been charged with stealing 16
pieces of gold jewelry from her employer in Kowloon Tong.
The helper, Charity Faith Ramos, appeared before Kowloon
City Magistrate Woo Huey-fang for the reading of the charge on Dec 20. No plea
was taken.
Ramos allegedly took the jewelry, worth a total of $294,000,
from her employer’s bedroom between February and November this year.
There was no mention of how the employer discovered that her
jewelry was missing. But the prosecutor said the police are still trying to
recover the missing items, and opposed bail for the defendant.
Magistrate Woo adjourned the case until Feb 15 next year and
remanded Ramos in custody. - Vir B. Lumicao
