On September 6, 2024, during the peak of Typhoon Yagi, four armed robbers invaded a home in Nam Hang Tsuen on Ting Kok Road, Tai Po. The assailants, armed with machetes, restrained a couple—49-year-old Mr. Chan and 40-year-old Ms. Lee—before making off with valuables worth approximately HK$800,000, including handbags, jewelry, watches, and a camera.
The robbers also seized an ATM-enabled credit card from the victims, forcing them to disclose their PIN. They then withdrew HK$40,000 in cash from a nearby ATM, located about 200 meters from the crime scene.
Following a swift investigation, law enforcement apprehended five men aged between 29 and 44 shortly after the robbery. Four of these suspects have been charged with robbery and appeared in Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on September 14.
On September 18, authorities made further inquiries, resulting in the arrest of a 44-year-old local man, surnamed Song, on suspicion of handling stolen goods. He has been charged and is set to appear in Fanling Magistrates’ Courts on September 20.
During the operation, police successfully recovered a large portion of the stolen items, including luxury handbags and watches valued at around HK$720,000. One of the previously arrested individuals has been granted bail and is required to report to authorities in mid-October.
六名男子在大埔颱風雅圭期間的搶劫事件中被捕
2024年9月6日，在颱風雅圭的高峰期，四名持械搶匪闖入位於大埔丁角路的南坑村一個住宅。這些襲擊者手持砍刀，將一對夫婦—49歲的陳先生和40歲的李女士—束縛住，然後搶走了價值約80萬港元的財物，包括手袋、珠寶、手錶和一部相機。
搶匪還奪走了受害者的一張可用於自動櫃員機的信用卡，強迫他們透露密碼，隨後從距離現場約200米的自動櫃員機提走了4萬港元現金。
在迅速的調查後，執法機構在事件發生後不久逮捕了五名年齡介乎29至44歲的男子。這四名嫌疑人已被控以搶劫罪，並於9月14日在沙田裁判法院出庭。
在9月18日，當局進一步調查後，逮捕了一名44歲的本地男子，姓宋，懷疑他處理贓物。他已被起訴，並將於9月20日在粉嶺裁判法院出庭。
在行動中，警方成功找回了大部分被搶的物品，包括價值約72萬港元的奢侈手袋和手錶。其中一名被捕的嫌疑人已獲准保釋，需於十月中向當局報到。
