Police have launched a manhunt for a man who fled with a luxury handbag worth about HK$400,000 from a store in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Police said a man asked for a HK$398,000 Hermes Birkin crocodile-skin
handbag at an outlet of the luxury second-hand chain Brand Off on
Peking Road at about 9pm on Wednesday.
Staff gave chase after the man took the bag, but he escaped in a taxi.
Police launched a fruitless search for the suspect, who is said to be
slim, aged 20 to 30 and a Cantonese speaker without an accent.
A Yau Tsim police district investigation team is probing the case.
A nearby outlet in the Holiday Inn Golden Mile lost 30 handbags worth
HK$1.8 million in June when a four-member gang broke into the store,
smashed the closet with a hammer and grabbed the bags.
