An unemployed Filipino resident was jailed for a total of 12 weeks today on two counts of theft after he pleaded guilty to one and not guilty to the other at Eastern Court.
Zenneth Tuzon, 24 years old, pleaded guilty last July 31 to
theft for stealing eight packs of cigarettes from a newsstand on Chai Wan Road,
outside the MTR Chai Wan Station, between an unknown date in April this year and
last May 2.

He was convicted by Acting Principal Magistrate David Cheung
of violating section 9 of the Theft Ordinance and handed an eight-week prison
term.
Tuzon pleaded not guilty also last July 31 to a second
charge of theft, in which he was accused by police of stealing a Xiaomi
surveillance camera of the newsstand.
But in today’s trial, Magistrate Cheung found him guilty and
penalized him with 10 weeks’ imprisonment.
Cheung ruled that six of these 10 weeks be served at the
same time as the first prison term, leaving only four to be added to the eight-month
sentence.
In a separate case also at Eastern Court, Cheung sentenced a
Filipina domestic helper to two months’ imprisonment for assault on a one-year
old boy who was in her care.
