    More here too:

    A bank robbery took place in Yau Ma Tei this afternoon (14th). CCTV footage of the robbery has been released, showing the robbery in action.

    The footage shows a middle-aged man wearing a black hat, a blue windbreaker and a black mask, first pulling a pre-written note out of his pocket and passing it to the staff through a small gap in the glass window. The thief then pulled out a bag and asked the staff member to put the cash into the bag.

    At around 3pm today, a middle-aged man broke into the Construction Bank at 556 Nathan Road and robbed the bank at gunpoint, taking about $14,000 in cash before fleeing along Nathan Road towards Tsim Sha Tsui and boarding a Route 87D bus. The police set up roadblocks along Nathan Road and other major roads to stop and arrest the robber.

    Seriously - the guy robbed a bank then jumped on a bus? That trumps burnt toast, fans, Sage I don't wear masks and just about anything else on here in recent times.

    Not just that ... the cops could not catch up with the bus.

    (I'm sure he'll be caught soon.. given that he probably used his Octopus and consumption money to pay for the ticket... but it is a bit comical..)

    Just bizzare .. the lady on the counter next to him continues without noticing or caring what's going on next to her.

    I was there passing in front of the bank and wondering why there were so many cameras (tv stations). LOL.

    I saw the FB live reporting by locals of the Po Po fully geared up with automatic rifles and tactical gear stopping 87D buses on nathan road and going in checking all males n bags, everyone else went about their business and couldnt care less what was happening
