Man browsed bags, buying one, before grabbing salesgirl, rendering her unconscious and tying her up before stealing luxury items
A robber tied up a shop assistant, rendered her unconscious and made off with Hermes bags and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace worth nearly HK$3 million (US$382,170) in total in Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui on Wednesday.
The 49-year-old female victim opened the first-floor store at Supreme House on Hart Avenue at about 9.30am, the insider said.
About an hour later, a heavyset suspect wearing a black hat and face mask entered and asked about buying a white Hermès handbag.
He said he would leave to withdraw cash and return later to complete the purchase.
