A domestic helper may have felt lucky when she found $900 in crisp bills in an automatic teller machine (ATM).

But she didn’t realize that when she took the money, she was recorded on CCTV, so she was identified and traced to her employer’s flat.

Last Tuesday (November 1), at Tuen Mun Court, Mary Jane Bautista, 53 years old, was convicted of theft, in violation of section 9 of the Theft Ordinance.

Acting Principal Magistrate Jason Wan fined Bautista $1,000 and ordered her to pay $900 to the owner of the money, identified as Wong Kai Wing, as compensation.

The theft took place last October 10 at the ATM machine  of an HSBC branch in Sun Tuen Mun Shopping Centre, Lung Mun Road, Castle Peak, New Territories, in Hong Kong.
