Hong Kong man robbed of HK$70,000 necklace after drinks with woman he met in Wan Chai
Victim woke up alone on beach to find jewellery and HK$6,500 in cash missing
Police are searching for a Chinese woman after a middle-aged Hong Kong man fell asleep while having drinks with her only to find his HK$70,000 (US$9,000) gold necklace and about HK$6,500 in cash missing when he woke up.
The Mandarin-speaking woman is thought to be aged between 40 and 50. According to police, she was wearing a red dress at the time of the incident and was described as petite, according to one police source.
The victim, 48, a manager at a property agency, met the woman on Lockhart Road near the junction with Fenwick Street, in Wan Chai at about 3am on Tuesday. He had returned to the city about two hours earlier from a business trip in Shenzhen and had been drinking with friends.
A police source said the man was heavily drunk when he was approached by the woman on the street.
The pair went to a nearby convenience store to buy more beer before taking a taxi to Deep Water Bay Beach on Island Road, Aberdeen for drinks and a chat.
“Half an hour after they reached the beach, he drank some beer and fell asleep,” the source said.
