Last update date: 2020-08-25 04:03Three car thefts occurred in Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po. Two of the cases involved taxis. The thief took advantage of the driver’s unlocked door and left for a while and took away cash and mobile phones in the car. One driver only bought takeaways, that is, lost 7 mobile phones. The little one went out and came back, and I didn't know it too fast (the people steal it)!" Another male driver of the private car also took a nap in the car because the door was unlocked. The culprit opened the door and stole the wallet and mobile phone.
The first theft occurred near midnight today (25th). A taxi driver surnamed Xiao (68) parked the car at the junction of Pitt Street and Portland Street in Yau Ma Tei, then got off the car and went to the boot of the car to sort the things. It didn't take a moment to tell that a mobile phone worth about 3,000 yuan and a rucksack were stolen from the car, containing about 1,400 Hong Kong dollars, 1,600 yuan and documents.
At about 1 am, another taxi driver named Lin parked his car at No. 377 Portland Street, Mong Kok, and went to a nearby Shanghai store to buy takeaways and go to the toilet without the door locked. But when he turned back, he saw 7 mobile phones and 1 eco-friendly bag in the front row of the car missing, and the loss exceeded 10,000 yuan. Lin Nan later pointed out that an expert had witnessed the crimes committed by four Nan Yahan riding bicycles, and sighed: "Buying takeaways and going out for a small one, I'm not too quick to think about it (stealth)!"
At nearly 2 a.m., a Toyota private car parked off No. 1 Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po, the male driver did not lock the door and took a nap in the car. When he woke up, he saw a mobile phone and a car carrying about 2,000 yuan in cash. The wallet was missing, and the thief was suspected of waiting for an opportunity to open the door and commit a crime. The three cases are classified as "theft in a vehicle" and the police are pursuing the culprits.
