A domestic worker was taken to a police station for further investigation on Sunday after being suspected of theft from her employer at a home in Happy Valley on Hong Kong Island.
At 12:12pm, police received a report that the resident of an apartment in Fontana Garden on Ka Ling Path had discovered that a batch of red envelopes known as lai sees had gone missing, Oriental Daily reported.
The employer suspected that the maid had taken the red packets, and called the police.
The report did not disclose how many red packets were missing.
Police classified the case as theft and detained the maid for further investigation.
Lai sees are gifts presented at social and family gatherings such as weddings or on holidays such as the Lunar New Year, which was this past weekend. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and is a symbol to ward off evil spirits.
Red envelopes are usually given out by married couples to single people, regardless of age, or by older to younger ones during holidays and festivals.

no such evidence of the employer…,the news said, she doesn’t know how many red pocket missing.common sense nalang…crazy employer!!
True.. if d na talaga kinuha… sue the employer para bawi kahihiyan at record kagagawan ng anong to
Wow! Very easy to judge to the poor one. If my employer do that to me without strong evidence then… I will file a case also against to the employer for moral damages. I don’t care how much I’m going to be spend for a lawyer magpatuloy na lang ako kay tatay PRES. DU30
