Thief broke into the first shop on Carnarvon Road in Tsim Sha Tsui before gaining access to neighbouring property, police say
Two tailor shops in Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui were broken into on Monday morning, with around HK$3 million (US$382,170) worth of cash and gold stolen.
Police received a call at 10.14am from an employee of a shop at 2 Carnarvon Road, saying that the 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 police spokesman said.
The Post has learned that the two shops share the same owner.
Officers have tallied losses of about HK$3 million, comprising stolen cash, bullion and 36 gold chains.
