Last update date: 2020-05-04 13:50The new crown pneumonia epidemic caused a mask shortage in the market. Unemployed men stole three boxes of masks worth nearly 600 yuan at a drugstore in Mong Kok last month. They pleaded guilty to theft at the Eastern Magistrates' Court today (23rd). The defendant was also involved in pushing down a colleague at the hair salon last year, and he has pleaded guilty to a crime of wounding. The defense pleaded that he was living on the street, stealing masks for his own use, and the injury case stemmed from the fact that the victim mocked the defendant for theft. Chief Magistrate Qian Li finally sentenced the defendant to three months in prison.
The defendant Wu Bolin (30 years old) admitted to illegally and maliciously injuring a colleague at a hair salon in Causeway Bay on August 3 last year, and stole three boxes of surgical masks at Ping An Grand Pharmacy in Mong Kok on March 3 last year, with a total value of 585 yuan.
Push down a colleague and sew 5 stitches on his head
According to the defendant Gao Mai ’s case, the clerk saw the defendant taking three boxes of masks from the shelf at the entrance at night, and left without payment, so he approached and asked. The accused later returned the mask and called it self-use under caution.
The defendant's case of injury involved alleged that he and his colleague pushed down each other while working, causing the colleague's head to hit the ground. The defendant remained silent under the caution. His colleague's head was torn and five stitches were required.
Colleagues mocked after stealing
The defendant has 9 criminal records, 5 of which are similar to this case. The defense pleaded that the defendant stole the mask for self-use because of greed, and then returned the goods without loss. The wounding case stems from the fact that the victim mentioned his theft and mocked him. The defendant shot in anger and did not premeditate to commit the crime. The defense also claimed that the defendant ’s wife was on the mainland, and he lived on the street because of his poor relationship with his parents. At the time of the incident, the defendant worked as a part-time hair salon assistant and is currently unemployed.
