Hong Kong has once again experienced a million-dollar cash robbery at a currency exchange shop, with three incidents occurring in the past three months.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that yesterday morning, two victims exchanged approximately 10 million HKD at a currency exchange shop in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, and were then robbed at knifepoint inside the Sheung Wan MTR station. However, due to police pre-deployment, the suspects and stolen items were apprehended, and the victims suffered no financial loss. In the past three months, three large-scale cash robberies have occurred in the bustling Sheung Wan area of Hong Kong, with victims all being customers of currency exchange shops. Previously, on December 18, 2025, and January 30, two similar large-scale cash robberies involving virtual currency exchange shops took place.

According to reports, the Hong Kong police have noted three recent robberies related to foreign currency exchange shops. In response, the police have adopted intelligence-led operations and enhanced surveillance with additional cameras under the “Sharp Eyes” plan, successfully collecting key evidence. The police will investigate whether other members or criminal groups are behind these incidents and whether there is a connection to previous Sheung Wan robberies. They will also focus on how the robbers knew the victims would be making large exchanges and whether they had scouted the scene beforehand. Currently, there is no evidence linking the victims to the suspects. (Caixin)
