五內地漢涉搶劫法辦
2026年9月2日晚，事主應其表兄要求前往路氹城區一酒店房間與首名涉案內地男子進行不法匯兌。在房間內，事主與首名、次名及第三名涉案內地男子議定匯率後，隨即取出4個面值1萬港元的籌碼置於右掌上展示。首名涉案男子突然伸手搶去籌碼並拒絕交還，其後三名涉案男子離開房間，事主立即緊隨，惟對方最終失去蹤影，事主遂報案求助。
本局第四統籌科迅速展開調查，先後於9月3日凌晨成功在案發酒店及附近緝獲上述三名涉案男子以及第四名和第五名涉案內地男子，檢獲36,500港元現金贓款及涉案手機。經查，第五名涉案男子負責租賃酒店房間，而第四名涉案男子一直藏身在房間內，擬於作案後將籌碼兌成現金並前往其他娛樂場賭博。三名涉案男子在搶劫事主後攜同贓物與第五名涉案男子會合，隨即前往娛樂場賭博並輸掉部分贓款，最後與第四名涉案男子會合。
本局根據調查所得，以搶劫罪將五名涉案男子移送檢察院偵辦，並就案中有人涉嫌從事不法匯兌活動另立案卷調查。
Five Mainland men involved in robbery brought to justice
On the night of 2nd September 2026, the victim proceeded to a hotel room in Cotai district to conduct an illegal currency exchange with the first involved Mainland man at the request of his male cousin. Inside the room, after agreeing upon the exchange rate with the first, second and third involved Mainland men, the victim immediately took out four gaming chips, each with a face value of HKD10,000, and displayed them on his right palm. The first involved man suddenly reached out and snatched the chips, refusing to return them. Thereafter, the three involved men left the room, and the victim promptly followed them, but eventually lost sight of them. He then reported the incident to the police for assistance.
The 4th Section of Coordination of the Judiciary Police swiftly launched an investigation, and in the early hours of September 3rd, successively apprehended the aforementioned three involved men, as well as the fourth and the fifth involved Mainland men, at the hotel where the incident occurred and in its vicinity successfully. HKD36,500 in illicit cash proceeds and the involved mobile phones were seized. Investigation revealed that the fifth involved man was responsible for renting the hotel room, while the fourth involved man had all along been hiding in the room, planning to exchange the gaming chips for cash after committing the crime, and proceeding to other casinos to gamble. After robbing the victim, the three involved men brought along the loot and met up with the fifth involved man. They subsequently proceeded to a casino, where they gambled and lost some of the ill-gotten gains, and finally met up with the fourth involved man.
Based on investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the five involved men to the Public Prosecutions Office for investigation on the charge of robbery. A separate case file was opened to investigate individuals suspected of engaging in illegal currency exchange activities in this case.
