    TST Heists - Millions in under a minute

    The robbers targeted the Tsim Sha Tsui branch of Chow Sang Sang Jewellery on the ground floor of Silvercord shopping arcade on Canton Road at about 10am.
    Tuesday’s theft happened about 12 hours after officers from the Kowloon West regional crime unit foiled a robbery and arrested a gang of six men accused of targeting a watch shop in Kimberley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, on Monday night.

    The 3M film is impressive. Although I'm sure two men on a mission with sledgehammers would get that open sooner.

    Does that mean the shop has hk$25m in revenue today? Given high margins wondering what insurance will pay out for the incident.

    there are so many jewelry shops along nathan road in TST all the way up to MK, if you got a group of guys hitting a few of them at the same time, it would be easy to run off with a shit lot more than 25Mil. the shops are way way too open, smash and grab, smash and grab, the employees arent going to do anything, these shops do not have security guards with guns so I wouldnt say its an inside job.

    Apple daily said "three South Asians with hats and masks...". How would they know they are South Asians?

    Rumor in the Chinese community is that you can smell us from 2 miles away.
