Inspector Wan Man-kin of the Wong Tai Sin police district on Wednesday said officers launched an investigation last Thursday after an employee of a restaurant at a shopping centre in Choi Hung reported a break-in.
Wan said the lock and security chain of the venue’s front door had been broken, with a safe, cash box and tablet computer taken during the incident.
The device and the contents of the safe and cash box were valued at HK$25,000, the inspector added.
