• Police arrest three over HK$40m jewellery heist

Police say they have arrested all three of the suspects in connection with a HK$40-million robbery at a jewellery store in Central early on Monday.

One of the suspects, who's in the SAR on a tourist visa, was quickly arrested near the store in Wellington Street not long after the gang struck, smashing the front window with hammers.

The two other men were arrested in the evening, and police say they've recovered most of the stolen items.

Central has witnessed a number of daring raids recently, with a bank hold-up last month and a HK$1.4 million luxury handbag robbery in December.
