Sharina Joy Cabal, 37 years old, admitted the thefts in a hearing
last Dec. 19, but Magistrate Kestrel Lam put off the sentencing to await a
background report that he ordered to find out why she violated section 9 of the
Theft Ordinance.
Magistrate Lam emphasized to Cabal the gravity of her offense,
as it involved breach of her employer’s trust.
