Tuesday, June 19, 1973
Three young men, including a 16-year-old youth, were each sentenced
to six years' imprisonment by Mr. Commissioner Morley-John at the Victoria
District Court today, after they pleaded guilty to a number of robbery charges.
The defendants, Tsang Kam-wah, 21, admitted three charges, Wong
Hang-tai, 20, four charges, and the youth 10 charges.
Two other 21-year-old men, Mak Chi-wing and Hung Hung, were each
gaoled for two years for handling stolen goods.
The court was told that the first three defendants robbed a housewife
of cash and valuables worth more than $180,000 in her flat in Wong Nei Chung
Road in November last year.
When arrested, they admitted having committed a number of robberies
on other occasions.
