The police arrived at the scene to investigate and checked the CCTV footage, and found that a woman stole the suitcase.
The informant reported that in the suitcase were about 420,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash, about 85,000 Hong Kong dollars worth of euros, and three expensive watches, namely two Rolexes and an Omega (Omega), with a total value of about 200,000 yuan.
It is reported that the male victim had exchanged foreign currency at a money changer earlier today, so he was carrying a huge amount of cash.
After leaving the money-changing shop, the man suspected that the money was exposed and felt that he was being followed by the suspect.
When I went shopping at the above site, I was relaxed for a while and left the suitcase outside the store door. Unexpectedly, the suitcase disappeared after a while.
According to the news on the scene, the suspect was a foreign woman. At that time, she "was threatening, pretending to be threatening, and ran away immediately after grabbing a gun." When the victim found out that the luggage had been stolen, he acted calmly and called the police.
After preliminary investigation, the case was classified as theft and was handed over to the first team of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Eastern District Police District for follow-up. No one has been arrested yet.
The police are looking for a 30-year-old foreign woman, about 1.6 meters tall, involved in the case.
