Another robbery involving millions of dollars in cash has occurred at a money exchange shop in Hong Kong, marking the third such incident in the past three months.

Yesterday morning, two victims were robbed at knifepoint inside the Sheung Wan MTR station after exchanging approximately HK$10 million at a currency exchange shop in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. However, thanks to prior police intervention, the robbers were apprehended and the victims suffered no financial loss. In the past three months, three large-scale cash robberies have occurred in the bustling Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, with the victims all being customers of currency exchange shops. Previously, on December 18, 2025, and January 30, two similar large-scale cash robberies involving cryptocurrency exchange shops occurred. It is understood that Hong Kong police have noticed the three robberies related to foreign exchange shops in recent months. In response to these cases, the police have adopted intelligence-led operations, utilizing additional surveillance cameras under "Operation Sharp Eye," and successfully collected crucial evidence. The police will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if other members or criminal groups were behind the operation, and whether this case is related to the previous Sheung Wan robberies. Simultaneously, the police will focus on investigating how the robbers knew the victims would be exchanging large sums of money and whether they had scouted the location beforehand. Currently, there is no evidence linking the victims to the arrested individuals. (Caixin.com)
