Hong Kong police hunt pair who stole HK$23,000 necklace from man lured to flat for massage
Source says woman brought 63-year-old victim to flat with promise of massage but fled with another suspect after stealing gold necklace
A police source said on Monday the victim was approached by the woman, who was in her thirties, on Tung Lok Street in Yuen Long at around 1.30pm the previous day.
She offered the man a massage for HK$200 and accompanied him to a subdivided flat on the third floor of a nearby building.
“During the massage session, the woman suddenly left the room. The man then realised his gold necklace had been stolen,” the source said.
“The victim immediately gave chase, but a man closed the flat’s security gate and ran downstairs.”
Officers searched the area but made no arrests.
The source said the male suspect was 1.63 metres (5.3 feet) tall and believed to be aged between 40 and 50 with a medium build. The woman is about 1.65 metres tall and has long hair.
