HONG Kong police are searching for a mainland man after 27 shipping containers carrying
frozen meat worth HKD22.8 million (US$2.9 million) were reported stolen.
The citywide manhunt started after
police received a report from the suspect's two business partners - two
mainland men - on Monday.
Initial investigations showed the
two mainland businessmen aged 31 and 44 reached a deal with the suspect to buy
HK$22.8 million worth of frozen beef from overseas, according to police, SCMP
reported.
When the shipment arrived, the cargo
was stored in a warehouse at a container terminal in Kwai Chung. A police
source said the two victims raised suspicions after they failed to receive
payment and lost contact with the suspect.
Police are treating the case as
theft. So far, no one has been arrested. Crime-squad officers from Tuen
Mun police district are handling the investigation.
In Hong Kong, police handled 23,806
reports of theft last year, down 7.1 per cent compared with
25,628 cases in 2016.
