  • Lone robber escapes with jewellery worth HK$1.4mn

Police are searching for a robber who made off with HK$1.4 million worth of jewellery from a shop on Ap Liu Street in Sham Shui Po.

Officers said the man entered the shop at around 10:20am on Thursday, wielding what appeared to be a handgun.

He ordered the two staff members in the shop to give him the necklaces, bracelets and pendants that were on display.
