CHINA DAILY Hong Kong police by Monday night had arrested all three suspects they said smashed jewelry shop windows and grabbed goods worth more than HK$40 million ($5.1 million) in one of the city's busiest commercial districts. One man, 39, was arrested earlier in the day 600 meters from the scene, and most of the stolen goods were found, said Sin Kwok-ming, chief inspector of the Police Regional Crime Unit of Hong Kong Island. The other two, aged 38 and 45, were arrested at Shenzhen Bay Port on Monday night as they were attempting to flee to the Chinese mainland on separate cross-border buses, a police spokeswoman said. The three had entered Hong Kong on tourist visas, she said. The robbery took place at around 11 am at the Treasure Jewellery store on the ground floor of Duke Wellington House in Central district. The glass of the shop's front door was shattered and police found a black backpack.
