A WIDOW blew the whistle on her son when she found cannabis resin in his wardrobe and took it to police officers patrolling in the street to confirm it was drugs, a court heard.
Hair stylist So Yung-kam, 22, pleaded guilty before Deputy Judge To to possessing 88 grams of cannabis resin for unlawful trafficking. His Norwegian wife, Cecilie Gamst Berg, 31, a graphic designer, was discharged after the Crown offered no evidence against her.
Mr Lui Kit-ling told the District Court the defendant lived with widow Mrs Wong Sze and her three other children in Fu Yan House, Fu Shan Estate, Kowloon.
So kept his personal belongings in the drawer of a wardrobe, and on April 15 last year Mrs Wong noticed a few blocks of a substance wrapped in plastic sheets inside the drawer.
A week later she found only half the substance and it was unwrapped. She took it down to the street and stopped patrolling police officers to ask them about it.
She was taken to Ngau Tau Kok police station and officers accompanied her home, where they found more drugs in the drawer. The defendant was arrested and his wife later surrendered to police.
