A Filipina was jailed for six months after she admitted in a hearing at West Kowloon court today that she stole $70,000 from her employer.
Acting Principal Magistrate Cheng Lim-chi handed the
sentence down to Angie Mendoza, 36 years old, for theft, contrary to section 9
of the Theft Ordinance.
Acording to the information from Sham Shui Po Police, Mendoza
stole the money on an unknown date in February 2024 at her empoyer’s house in
Trinity Towers on Lai Chi Kok Road in Sham Shui Po.

Meanwhile at Eastern Court, one of three Filipinos charged
with burglary was returned to jail after Acting Principal Magistrate David Cheung
rejected his latest bail offer of $2,000 and set another bail review on June
19.
Magistrate Cheung told Roderick Prado, 49 years old, that the
offense he was accused of is serious and the risk is high of him not returning
for future hearings. But he advised Prado that he can appeal to the High Court.
His two co-accused, Ryan Malonzo, 38, and Allevan Arceo, 29,
are both remanded in jail to await their next hearing on June 19.
The three are accused of entering the Green Kennedy Town
Shop in the basement of Tung Lee Mansion on Water St. in Sai Ying Pun last March
20, and stealing an iPad worth $3,999.
