Hong Kong police arrest five suspected robbers as a group storms into a jewelry store

Hong Kong police arrested at least five men on Tuesday over what appeared to be a botched robbery of a watch and jewelry store in the city’s bustling Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district, the Post learned.

According to a source familiar with the case, officers were called to the VIP Station store along Haiphong Road shortly before noon, just as four of the suspects entered the store. A fifth man was arrested outside the store, he added.

“Initial investigation revealed that the gang had a knife and what appeared to be a gun at the time,” the insider said.
