TWO workers at a pharmacy in Hong Kong are facing a fraud conviction after allegedly charging a tourist from the Chinese mainland HK$50,000 for two bottles of menthol drops.
The items were normally priced at HK$30 each, with the pair making various claims about how the error occurred, including accidentally entering additional zeros into a credit card machine.
A lawyer for one of the defendants told the court his client had committed the 2015 crime to please his employer.
The pharmacy, located in Mong Kok, has since been closed.
