Police on Saturday said they have arrested six people in connection with 72 online scams involving HK$4.9 million worth of luxury items.
The force said it believed it has smashed a syndicate suspected to have written invalid cheques and forged proof of bank transfers to buy expensive products online since September.
Tang Kwok-hin, acting superintendent of the force's Commercial Crime Bureau, said officers arrested three men and three women, aged between 20 and 47 on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud on Thursday.
He said officers found receipts from the sales of the items when they arrested the six, and have also retrieved items like luxury handbags and watches with a total value of HK$680,000 from different pawn shops.
