CRIME | Korean man caught for violent robbery
The Judiciary Police arrested a Korean man last Saturday in connection with a gruesome robbery that happened earlier this month. The 33-year-old suspect was accused of having assaulted a local while she was on her way home via the light railway construction near the Jockey Club late at night. He grabbed the 32-year-old victim’s handbag containing over MOP10,000, hit her with a hammer multiple times and then fled the scene on foot and then by cab. After losing all of his money in May, the suspect said he had been surveying the region for locations at which to carry out the robbery. The man was also allegedly linked to another aggravated theft where he procured promotional chips worth HKD210,000 in July from a Korean tourist. The suspect, who worked as a clerk in his home country, reportedly shed his clothes while fleeing the scene in order to avoid being recognized.
