Three men stole more than $1.2 million in gold ornaments during a brazen daylight robbery on Cheung Sha Wan Road yesterday. Two men were taking the gold to a jewellery shop in two briefcases when the attackers struck at 10.30am. 'The two men were punched in the face and head by the attackers, who then stole the two briefcases,' a police spokeswoman said. 'The three suspects are then believed to have flagged down a taxi to make their getaway.' Officers from the Shamshuipo district crime squad are investigating.
