Gate News Report, March 7 — Yesterday (March 6) in the morning, two victims exchanged approximately 10 million Hong Kong dollars at a currency exchange shop in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, and were then robbed at knifepoint inside the Sheung Wan MTR station. Police had pre-deployed resources, and both suspects and victims were apprehended; no property was lost by the victims.
This is the third major cash robbery in the Sheung Wan area within the past three months, with all victims being customers of currency exchange shops. Previously, on December 18, 2025, and January 30, 2026, two similar robberies involving virtual currency exchange shops occurred in the same area.
Hong Kong police stated that they have launched intelligence-led operations, complemented by additional surveillance cameras installed under the “Sharp Eye Plan,” which successfully collected key evidence. Authorities will conduct an in-depth investigation to determine whether other members or criminal groups are behind the scenes and whether this case is linked to previous incidents. Additionally, police will focus on how the robbers learned about the victims’ large transactions and whether they had scouted the location beforehand. Currently, there is no evidence linking the victims to the suspects.
