The force said on Tuesday that the three suspects, aged 32 to 57, were apprehended the previous day in Wong Tai Sin, Tseung Kwan O and Cheung Sha Wan following a report filed in mid-July.
An investigation revealed that the company’s owner discovered the missing money while reviewing accounts from 2020 to 2021.
The three local women are suspected of transferring funds from the company’s online store payment account to their accounts, as well as altering documents to evade internal audits.
The trio have been released on bail and are required to report back to police in mid-September.
