| The theft case will be heard again at Kwun Tong court on Jan 7 |
A Filipina helper facing a theft charge in Kwun Tong Court has
been allowed to post bail while her case is being investigated further after
more items belonging to her employer were reportedly found during a search of
her room.
The defendant, R. Villon, appeared before Magistrate Ivy
Chui on Tuesday, Dec 10, to face one count of theft.
Villon was arrested
on Nov 30 as she was about to leave her employer’s flat after offering
to resign from her job prematurely.
The employer called the police after reportedly finding that
a valuable item was missing and had been replaced with a similar object but
with a different brand.
A search of her room afterwards reportedly yielded 18
additional items belonging to the employer.
The prosecution asked for an adjournment so further
investigations can be made about the new items believed to have also been
stolen.
But the defense lawyer said that at this stage the case was
all allegations, before applying for bail.
Villon, who has been in custody since her arrest, had
offered to post a $1,000 bail. Magistrate Chui granted her application but
raised the amount to $3,000.
The magistrate then adjourned the case until Jan 7. – Vir B. Lumicao
