About 50 officers from the police's elite search team scoured dense woodland in Fei Ngo Shan yesterday in an attempt to locate the cave in which kidnappers are believed to have hidden Bossini heiress Queenie Rosita Law.

The deployment came a day after media descended on a mountain in the area in search of the hideout and more than a week after police threw a massive dragnet around the entire area in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to catch the kidnappers.

The gang allegedly snatched 29-year-old Law from her Sai Kung home on April 25 before releasing her unharmed three days later.

The team, officially known as the Key Points and Search Division, joined crime-squad officers in two groups to tackle the rugged mountainside from two separate approaches. The first group followed a hiking trail off Clear Water Bay Road believed to have been used by the kidnappers.

The other approached the mountain from Pak Fa Lam - the site where police officers earlier found two empty suitcases used to carry the HK$28 million ransom money paid by Law's family in exchange for her freedom.
