A luxurious Repulse Bay home that is registered to a company of property tycoon Cheung Chung-kiu was burgled early yesterday morning.
Cheung, chairman of Yugang International and C.C. Land Holdings, is a major landlord of Belleview Place, which has a total of 15 houses.
One of the homes was broken into through a window, and a copper Buddha statue, some jewellery and a mobile phone with a total estimated value of HK$15,000 were taken.
'A Filipino maid woke up the next day and found that the house had been ransacked,' a police officer said.
The maid's boss was not home when the burglary occurred. The officer said the occupant, who returned after learning that his house had been burgled, was not Cheung.
Police did not know how many intruders were involved but believe that entry was gained from a hillside behind the property.
