An 18-year-old schoolgirl stole thousands of pounds from friends at her private boarding school and went on a designer label spending spree, reports the Telegraph.
Tsz Wai Lau held onto one friend's card details after she'd borrowed it once legitimately, and copied others into her mobile phone as friends stood paying at the till on various shopping trips. Nasty!
The she treated herself to a Marc Jacobs purse and a Dolce and Gabbana handbag. Some women will do anything for fashion, huh?
She (or perhaps her mummy) has now repaid all the stolen money and apologised to her victims, and her lawyer blamed exam pressure and homesickness for her behaviour, while her headteacher described her as "a bright student [who] excelled academically, particularly in mathematics and science." I'll bet she did: the mathematics of credit card fraud and the science of deception!
She pleaded guilty to six counts of fraud and asked for another 14 to be taken into consideration (almost impressively illustrious for an 18 year old), and she was given a 21 day prison sentence, but that was reduced after she spent 4 days in Holloway Prison. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but surely this girl would still be enjoying the hospitality of Her Majesty's Pleasure if she was from a council estate and not a posh private school?

wow, that was low. Perhaps her mummy had given her spending money but she blew it on other things like drugs or partying. I went to a upper-class school and this is what usually happened...rich children like to steal.
