HONG KONG (Kyodo) A Hong Kong court indicted five people Monday in connection with the multimillion-dollar theft of jewelry from a store in Tokyo's Ginza district over the holidays.
Based on tips, police arrested three men and three women aged between 36 and 53 last week and found brand-name watches, necklaces, rings and bank notes worth around 25 million Hong Kong dollars (about ¥300 million) in their homes and in three safe-deposit boxes.
"We believe the three Chinese men indicted in the case are the masterminds of the group and we have no information there are other suspects at large," organized crime Senior Inspector Ralph Yeung said after five of the suspects appeared in the Kwun Tong Magistrates' Courts in Kowloon.
