The sentence was what remained after a one-third discount was
deducted from the starting point of 18 weeks as credit for her guilty plea.
Banate was convicted of theft, contrary to section 9 of the
Theft Ordinance, for the offense committed between August 1, 2020 and September
16.2026 at their flat at The Latitude, on Prince Edward Road East, Kowloon.
