Hong Kong technician accused of stealing breast milk ordered to stay away from victim
Magistrate tells Yiu Ming-kin, 42, not to return to Wan Chai office where theft was allegedly committed
A government technician accused of stealing two bottles of breast milk was barred by a Hong Kong court on Friday from approaching the victim.
Yiu Ming-kin, 42, who works for the Communications Authority, was not required to make a plea for one count of theft during his first court appearance at the Eastern Court. Yiu allegedly stole two bottles of breast milk at authority’s office in Wan Chai on July 3.
When asked if he understood the judge, the accused, clad in a blue shirt, answered: “Understood.”
Prosecutors asked Yiu not come into contact, be it directly or indirectly, with the woman, known as X in court documents to protect her identity, as part of his bail conditions.
They also made a request to the court to prevent Yiu from returning to the Wan Chai office. They said he had already been transferred to another office in Kwun Tong.
