Police are looking for four people suspected of stealing HK$5.9 million from a bank using the lost ID card of a 61-year-old account holder.
The account holder had lost his ID card last year and officers said someone used it to impersonate the customer and withdraw the money.
Police said the operation was conducted over two days and the gang behind it used two branches, one in Central and one on Nathan Road in Kowloon.
The criminals withdrew around HK$190,000 in cash, and transferred HK$5.7 million to a jewellery shop, buying 17 gold bars.
Officers released photos of four suspects and appealed to anyone with information on the case to come forward.
