According to police, they received a report from the woman at 11.51pm on Friday night saying she lost the camera lens outside the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom.
The force said the woman claimed the lens was still attached to her camera when she checked at around 11.30pm, but 15 minutes later it was gone.
The woman said on the Threads social media platform she was waiting for the singer to leave the venue after his concert outside Gate Y of when the lens was stolen.
The user wrote that she was standing near the traffic light and her camera was slung on her right shoulder.
Another Threads user, a friend of the victim who claimed to be a witness, said two men dressed in white and about 170cm (5 feet and 7 inches) tall, detached the lens from the victim’s Canon EOS 5D camera.
