Three primary school girls aged from 10 to 12 have been arrested by police in relation to an alleged theft of HK$5 million worth (US$636,975) of jewelry.
The case came to light when a 39-year-old local woman called police on Monday night to say two diamond necklaces and a diamond bracelet worth HK$5 million had disappeared from her handbag in a flat in a public housing estate in Kowloon’s Wong Tai Sin, Apple Daily reported.
The victim was a married woman surnamed Lee who works for an investment bank. She recently moved in to the public housing flat in Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate, where a 10-year-old girl and her divorced father live.
It was understood that the victim and the father are friends, but the girl disliked the woman, who moved into the flat in early January. They often had quarrels.
After an investigation, police believed that the girl stole the woman’s missing jewelry.
The girl told officers that she had dumped the jewelry out of a window but later claimed that she gave the necklaces and bracelet to a 12-year-old classmate to look after.
However, no jewelry was found at the classmate’s home.
A third girl aged 12 was also arrested but later released on bail, while the initial pair were still being held for questioning, Sing Tao Daily reported.
Officers had yet to find the missing jewelry.
She MOVED and LIVE with her friend the father of this girl..in short naki pag live in sya.
Leave or live?
U can see racists discriminations based on some comments here,if Chinese people had stolen something,your bad points of view in your comments are limited or would I say keeping ur mouth shut! But if there’s other non-local worker like us from Philippines if someone did stealing your comments are non-stop bashing,judgmenting, and as if u wanna curse them! Be fair and not be biased! This is just what I observe everytime i am reading some news here,.
Beth Preje Llana perhaps mali lng cya but should live the correct one…road (????????????) rude lng ung bata or the woman.
This kind of people so easy get off the hook staying in the housing estate which she us not allow to because her name is not in the lease contract. The tenant should be kicked out too.

Lee Edmond not all Filipino are doing illegal actvities here in HK.
Don’t you know that even HK people asked their helper to do illegal works even if they aware of the laws.. some helper have no choice but to obey their employer rather than to lose their jobs.. dont you know that most of helpers here wasnt treat well, no proper food and proper rest even working 18 hrs a day..
so dont talk as if you know what is happening to us….
IF WE FILIPINOS LIKES DOING ILLEGAL HERE IN HK..WHAT ABOUT THOSE EMPLOYERS WHOSE FORCING THEIR HELPER TO DO, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR CONTRACT/JOB DESCRIPTIONS..?
#IM A FILIPINO,
