1. The defendant has pleaded guilty to five charges of fraud, contrary to the Theft Ordinance. In early 2013, the defendant was a hairdresser running a hair salon in Tuen Mun. Between December 2012 and May 2013 he deceived a total of five victims into either paying for packages that would not be honoured or into handing over credit cards for making investments in the red wine trade. That investment was never made but their credit cards were used by the defendant for his own personal gain.
