HK$3 million worth of cash and gold stolen from 2 Hong Kong tailors

Two tailors in Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui were broken into on Monday morning, with HK$3 million (US$382,170) worth of cash and gold stolen.

A police spokesman said that at 10.14am, officers received a call from an employee of the shop at 2 Carnarvon Road, stating that the shop’s door had been forced open and property was missing.

Upon arrival, officers discovered that the neighbouring shop had also been broken into.

“We think the burglar got the key from inside 2 Carnarvon Road to enter the shop on 1A,” a spokesman said.

He added that both shops shared the same supervisor, who had discovered the burglaries and reported them.

Officers have tallied losses of HK$3 million from the shops, comprising stolen cash, bullion and gold chains.
