Suspect used sticky plastic boards to retrieve cash from donation boxes, including at city’s largest mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui, police say
A man has been arrested for stealing cash from offering boxes with sticky plastic boards outside various religious venues in Hong Kong, including the city’s largest mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Inspector So Sin-yi, from the Yau Tsim district investigation team, said on Saturday that reports of suspicious activity near the Kowloon Mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui began surfacing on July 24, when staff noticed a significant and unexplained drop in donation box collections.
Security footage showed that suspicious individuals had been using adhesive-coated plastic boards attached to strings to retrieve cash through the narrow slots of donation boxes.
