| The case was heard at Tuen Mun Court |
An unemployed, homeless Filipino was sentenced Thursday to two imprisonment terms that totaled six months for stealing a knapsack containing a laptop computer, and then failing to show his Hong Kong Identification Card when accosted by a police officer in Yuen Long later.
A. J. Delfino, 25 years old, who pleaded guilty during
an earlier hearing at the Tuen Mun Court, will serve the sentence after he has
finished an earlier prison term, details of which were not revealed.
Magistrate David Chum sentenced Delfino
to six months in prison for stealing the bag inside a laundry shop on Sai Ching
St., Yuen Long, last April 3. Inside the bag was a computer worth $5,000, for which
Delfino was ordered to compensate the owner in full.

Five days later, when accosted by
a police officer on Kiu Tak St. in Yuen Long, Delfino was unable to produce his
identity document, for which Magistrate Chum jailed him for another two months
for violation of section 49 of the Public Order Ordinance.
Chum ordered the two sentences to
run at the same time.
