Mainland and Macau also make big catches in joint anti-triad operation
Police have dealt a heavy blow to triads in the past 11 days, with more than 1,600 arrests and the freezing of $90 million suspected to be the proceeds of crime.
Officers also seized a 7.62mm hand-gun suspected to be related to a robbery in the New Territories, and arrested three people believed to be involved in robberies on the cross-harbour bus route 106.
In the bus robberies, three salesmen were fleeced of $1.7 million in jewellery by thieves brandishing what appeared to be a pistol on double-decker buses running on the route since April last year. The most recent robbery was in March.
Operation Glaring Sun, which started on June 8 and ended yesterday, was a joint effort with the mainland and Macau.
Hong Kong officers raided more than 1,900 locations, busting 31 vice establishments, 30 gambling dens, nine drug dens and 61 pirate disc centres.
