District Court |
A Filipina waitress who was listed as ready to plea to charges of theft and two counts of fraud at District Court, has been given more time to consider whether or not to admit stealing a card holder containing a credit card that she allegedly used twice to shop.
Chief District Judge Judge Justin Ko King-sau adjourned the
case to June 11 and freed R. Sunga. 40 years old, on bail of $500 -- the
same amount set last Feb. 24 at Eastern Court where the case originated.
Sunga appeared in person (without legal representation) in a
hearing on Thursday (March 12). Judge Ko said she should get a lawyer, from the
Legal Aid service if possible, to advise her properly.

The first charge -- theft, contrary to section 9 of the
Theft Ordinance -- arose after Sunga allegedly stole a card holder containing
an American Express credit card, an Octopus card, a Hong Kong Identity Card, a
student card, a driving license, a Home Visit Permit and a debit card, all belonging
to Poon Wai-hon, Nathan.
The alleged theft took place on Sept, 13, 2025, in Hong
Kong, according to a complaint by the Wanchai Police.
The second charge of fraud, contrary to section 16A of the
Theft Ordinance, says that Sunga went shopping on the same day, using Poon’s
American Express credit card at Wan Kee Sports Company Limited shop on the
Ground Floor and 1st Floor of Shiu Fung Commercial Building, Nos. 51-53
Johnston Road, in Wan Chai.

“… with intent to

pair of shoes,” the complaint added.
The third charge of fraud arose after Sunga allegedly bought another pair of shoes at the shop on the same day, using the same credit card.
