Hong Kong police arrest boy, 13, and man, 19, over theft of minibus
- Officers still hunting for third teenage suspect in connection with minibus allegedly taken on joyride from Mong Kok to Sheung Shui
A 13-year-old and a 19-year-old have been arrested in connection with stealing a Hong Kong minibus, with police hunting for another teenage suspect.
The force said on Sunday the boy and the man were detained for allegedly driving without a licence and insurance, as well as taking a conveyance without authority.
The third suspect was said to be a 15-year-old boy.
A minibus driver, identified only by the surname Shum, reported the vehicle missing at around 7am after he found it was no longer parked on Sai Yeung Choi Street South in Mong Kok, where it had been left.
Officers later found the minibus about 30km (19 miles) away on Choi Yuen Road near Sheung Shui MTR station and arrested the pair nearby.
The third suspect is believed to have left before police arrived.
