On February 28, a robbery occurred in Sheung Shui, Hong Kong. A 61-year-old man was entrusted with carrying about 440,000 pounds and 40,000 US dollars, planned to go to the money changer at Chungking Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui for exchange, and finally received a total of about 285HK$20,000 in cash. However, on his way home by MTR, the man was suddenly attacked from behind by two strange men in the Sheung Shui Pedestrian Subway and robbed of his black backpack containing all the cash. After receiving the report, ** quickly rushed to the scene to carry out a search, but unfortunately failed to recover the looted property.
After several days of tracking and detailed analysis of surveillance**, a 45-year-old Bangladeshi man suspected of robbery was successfully arrested in Sham Shui Po a few days ago. The man was charged with robbery and has been handed over to the judicial authorities. According to the preliminary investigation, the man had remitted part of the stolen money, about HK$660,000, to his hometown. **It is suspected that the victim may have been targeted by criminals because he had exchanged a large amount of cash at the money changer in the past, and the robbery was carefully planned.
* Emphasise that robbery is an extremely serious offence under the laws of Hong Kong and faces severe penalties of life imprisonment upon conviction. At the same time, the same criminal liability will also be pursued in accordance with the law for acts of arranging or assisting others to commit crimes. **Members of the public are urged to stay vigilant and not to carry large amounts of cash, especially in public places, so as not to become a target for criminals. At the same time, the fugitives involved in the case are also urged to surrender themselves as soon as possible to avoid heavier legal sanctions.
