Wai Ching Street between Jordan Road and Saigon Street was cordoned off while officers searched the 18-storey Wai Ching Court just after 3 pm.
No arrests were made. Detective Chief Inspector Cheung Yim-fui, said more officers were deployed to the scene because they were twice told by the victim that the gang was armed. Police said the trio entered the Alex Trading Company, tied and blind-folded the owner, before escaping with $500 in cash.
