Police officers from the West Kowloon Crime Squad conducted cross-regional inspections of closed-circuit television and obtained clues. Yesterday (23th) ) The suspect was arrested at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui in the evening and the case was reorganized.
Police said the arrested suspects were guilty of four crimes between January 30 and February 18 this year and robbed four convenience stores with knives in Sham Shui Po, Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai. When the suspects committed the crime, they held a 25-centimeter-long knife and robbed them for a total of 15,000 yuan.
Suspects chose to wear a hat, mask and glasses to cover up identity robberies in the early morning or when there is little traffic. The suspect will take the sharp knife out of the eco-friendly shopping bag, and accuse the store clerk to open the cash register to pay cash. Among the four robberies involved, one of the shop assistants stated that he was unable to open the cash register and the gangsters could not rob the property to escape from the scene. The remaining three cases had lost cash. Police robberies and attempted robberies were combined and investigated.
The case was investigated by the Second Squad of Police, Kowloon West Region. Criminal investigators looked through multiple closed-circuit televisions to investigate, and finally took action at 10pm last night to arrest a 45-year-old local man in a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. He also seized clothing and knives that were believed to be worn by the suspect when committing the crime. The suspect reported being unemployed and was detained for investigation for robbery. Police also detained the suspect to the Tsim Sha Tsui convenience store for reorganization.
