Police Arrest Six Men Over Luxury Watch Robbery

Police on Monday said they arrested six men in connection with an armed robbery in Causeway Bay last week in which 70 luxury watches worth $13 million were stolen.

Officers said the people detained include the suspected thieves as well as two men who allegedly supplied cars used in the robbery.

Detective chief inspector Cheung Ka-wing said they recovered 36 watches and seized $230,000 in cash during the arrests. He added they are still looking for the remaining 34 watches.

Cheung added there's no evidence to suggest that the pistol-like object used during the heist is an actual firearm.

Four men wielding a gun-like object, a knife and a hammer entered the Tse's Collection shop on Lockhart Road on August 31 and made off with dozens of watches.
