Robbers armed with knives and hammers storm Hong Kong jewellery shop

Four robbers armed with knives and hammers stormed a Hong Kong jewellery store on Wednesday night, making off with valuables and reportedly fleeing in a car.

Police said they received multiple reports at around 6.30pm about the four men running from the store on San Fung Avenue in Sheung Shui.

The suspects reportedly got into a car heading in the direction of Sha Tau Kok, a spokesman for the force said.

No arrests have been made.

A video circulating online shows the suspects in black shirts and masks grabbing items from displays while the store’s alarm rings out.

They can be seen fleeing the store and running across the road, as an onlooker shouts “robbery”.
