Police on Thursday said four more people had been charged in connection with the kidnapping of a man allegedly caught up in a cryptocurrency transaction scam.
Officers said the four men, aged between 25 and 40, will appear at Kowloon City court charged with conspiracy to kidnap the 39-year-old victim.
Thirteen people have so far been arrested over the alleged kidnap, and three others were charged earlier with the same offence.
