Wo Shing Wo triad boss among 151 arrested in raids across Hong Kong
Three former suspected gang leaders also held after months-long undercover investigation
The suspected Wo Shing Wo triad leader was among 151 people arrested in a series of raids across the city on Friday after a months-long investigation by undercover police.
The man known in underworld circles as Tsuen Chai was picked up when officers raided his Fanling home shortly after midnight.
A police source said three former gang leaders, nicknamed Fei Kin, Po Ming and Sha Tan Tseuk, were also nabbed in the operation.
It is understood police also arrested two high-ranking members of the Sun Yee On and 14K triad societies, known as Ka Lok and Wah Hei.
The six Hongkongers were among 100 men and 51 women rounded up in the early hours when more than 400 officers raided over 50 locations across the city, including pubs in Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei and flats.
The source said the youngest suspect was a 16-year-old schoolboy who was arrested for acting as a triad member.
