At 2 am, the police received a report that a suspected theft occurred at a noodle shop, 277 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay. According to reports, the proprietor at the site found his employee suspected of stealing the cash in the store and was arrested on the spot, so he reported it. The police arrived at the scene and after preliminary investigations, arrested a male employee for "theft".
Sources said the shop involved was a Japanese-style ramen shop "Don't be a god". The store does not collect cash. Instead, it asks customers to use an Octopus or other electronic payment programs to buy tickets at automatic ticket machines.
It is reported that a regular customer disclosed to the proprietor yesterday (19th) that recently, an employee actually told the guests that instead of using a ticket vending machine, verbal orders and direct cash payments were used instead. Immediately after hearing the words, the proprietor checked the closed-circuit television and revealed an employee who suspected that he was snoring late at night and only the employee in the store was "staffing" alone. The arrested employees are known to be about 50 years old and have worked at the site for about one or two years. Some people have recently used this method to estimate that they have stolen hundreds of dollars a day; last night, about 500 to 600 yuan was involved. However, when the crime started and how many funds were involved, it remains to be verified.
The staff involved were arrested and taken by the police.
