Rona Elizaga, 45 years old, had pleaded guilty in a hearing at
Kowloon City Court, prompting Magistrate Tsang Hing-tung to give her a
one-third discount on her penalty of six month’ imprisonment after convicting her
of theft, contrary to section 9 of the Theft Ordinance, Cap. 210.
The theft took place between June 19 last year and Sept. 9
this year at the home of her employer, Cheung Wing Yee. The Wong Tai Sin Police
