Suspect of multiple crimes apprehended

The Judiciary Police (PJ) has apprehended a suspect accused of committing multiple crimes, including robbery, assault, and usury, the PJ said during yesterday’s joint police press conference.
The suspect is a 48-year-old mainland man, surnamed Wang, who has identified himself as a businessman.
Wang is accused of committing crimes in January. The alleged victim is a mainland woman in her 40s.
Police intelligence shows that, on January 29, the victim borrowed 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars from the suspect to gamble in local casinos. The victim then lost all this money.
Later, on the same day, Wang and the victim dined together in a restaurant in Macau. During the meal, the victim drank alcohol to the point of unconsciousness.
On January 30, when the victim woke up in a hotel room within a casino located in the NAPE area, she realized that she had been beaten up, injured, and robbed. Afterwards, she immediately reported the crime to the police authority. The victim claimed that one of her rings, which was worth HKD1.23 million, had been stolen, in addition to HKD130,000 in cash.
On the same day, she was taken to hospital to receive medical treatment after she reported the case to the police authority. The medical treatment process lasted seven hours.
However, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, Wang had to leave Macau soon after the woman received medical treatment in the city.
On November 9, the victim returned to Macau and visited the PJ to assist the police investigation in her case.
The police authority found out that the suspect was also in Macau on November 9. On the next day, at 5 p.m., when the suspect was crossing the border to mainland China, the police authority intercepted him.
Wang admitted that he had taken the victim’s money and ring as payment for the money the victim had borrowed from him.
The suspect refused to cooperate with the police authority in regard to the usury charge. JZ
