Within 24 hours of January 29th to 30th, Tokyo, Japan, and Hong Kong, both known for their good public safety, experienced a series of robberies targeting large sums of Japanese yen in cash. The amounts stolen were 420 million yen (approximately 19 million yuan) and 51 million yen (approximately 2.29 million yuan) respectively. About six hours after the incidents, police arrested three suspects at Hong Kong International Airport who were attempting to leave the country on charges of robbery. Simultaneously, two employees were arrested at a cryptocurrency exchange shop in Tsim Sha Tsui: a 28-year-old local man and a 29-year-old man from mainland China. They are suspected of assisting the robbers in handling some of the stolen money. Preliminary intelligence analysis suggests that the Japanese companies involved may have been carrying Japanese yen to Hong Kong to exchange for Hong Kong dollars, then using the proceeds to purchase duty-free goods in Hong Kong to profit from the tax difference between the two locations.
