A SUPREME Court watchman and a former security inspector who claimed that the watchman had worked thousands of extra hours to receive extra pay were sentenced to six months and nine months in prison respectively at North Kowloon Court.
The security inspector was also convicted of accepting advantages from two men in return for allowing them to work day and night.
Watchman Chan Kit-lin, 50, and former security inspector Lee Kam-fuk, 44, had pleaded guilty this month to two joint charges of conspiring together to dishonestly obtain a total of $38,160 from two security companies.
Lee had pleaded guilty to four counts of accepting about $3,100 in total from two men in return for allowing them to work day and night shifts.
Sentencing had been adjourned until yesterday pending reports.
Magistrate Mr William Eccleton sentenced Chan to two six-month sentences to run concurrently and Lee to a total of nine months in jail.
