Hong Kong police have arrested three men after an eight-member gang stormed, vandalised and stole HK$150,000 (US$19,194) from a car wash shop in the New Territories.
The suspects, aged between 30 and 43, were apprehended during raids conducted by anti-triad officers on three locations in Tin Shui Wai, Tuen Mun and Yuen Long on Sunday night and the early hours of Monday, according to the force.
Police said the trio were detained on suspicion of criminal damage, theft and using forged documents.
The men were still being held for questioning as of midday on Monday.

Officers were called to the store on Tak Yip Street in Yuen Long after receiving a report of criminal damage from an employee at around 12.30am on Saturday.
“An initial investigation showed eight men, carrying wooden rods, rushed into the shop, broke two cars, a computer and television, as well as a glass panel. They also stole HK$150,000 in cash,” police said.
The force said the gang fled in three cars before officers arrived. No injuries were reported.
Police said an investigation by the Yuen Long district’s anti-triad squad was ongoing and further arrests were possible.
Police handled 5,298 reports of criminal damage across the city, up 2.4 per cent from 5,172 cases logged in 2022.
