Suspect earlier allegedly stole items worth nearly HK$3 million after rendering staff member unconscious by covering her face with small towel
A man who fled to Thailand after allegedly stealing 11 pre-owned Hermes bags and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace worth nearly HK$3 million (US$382,170) in total has been apprehended and will be extradited to Hong Kong, the Post has learned.
On Wednesday, a man entered a shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, rendered a staff member unconscious and tied her up before escaping with the items, according to a source.
The Post has learned the suspect fled to Thailand after the robbery but was later apprehended and would be sent back to Hong Kong on Thursday.
The source earlier said that a 42-year-old female staff member opened the store at 9.30am and the suspect, who was wearing a black hat, glasses and a black face mask, entered and asked about a white Hermes handbag.
