Loan sharking and false imprisonment case busted, with two mainland men nabbed
On the morning of 18th January 2026, the Judiciary Police received a complaint from a woman, reporting that her family member had been detained after losing borrowed money in gambling and failing to repay. Following an investigation, personnel of the Gaming-related Crimes Division rescued the victim from a residential unit in the Inner Harbour district and nabbed the two involved mainland men.
Case details revealed that, earlier that morning, the victim had borrowed HKD30,000 for gambling from the involved individual at large in the ZAPE district. The conditions required the signing of an IOU, an upfront deduction of HKD3,000 as interest, and the withholding of 20 percent of any winning stake as interest. After the victim agreed to the terms, the two involved mainland men were immediately summoned by the other party to escort the victim to a casino in the central district to gamble, where a total of HKD10,000 was deducted as interest over the course of play. On the same morning, after losing all of the funds and failing to make immediate repayment, the victim was escorted by the two involved mainland men to the involved unit, where he was detained.
Upon investigation, personnel of the Judiciary Police seized a total of HKD2,500 in cash, 3 mobile phones, and the pen and lip gloss used by the victim to sign the IOU from the two involved mainland men. The investigation revealed that each of the two men received HKD500 as remuneration and were responsible for lending money to the victim for gambling, as well as detaining the victim to compel repayment.
Based on the investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the two involved mainland men to the Public Prosecutions Office for the offences of illicit money lending for gambling and deprivation of other’s freedom of movement, while continuing to pursue the remaining involved individual at large.
