Police cracked a criminal syndicate involving car theft cases in New Territories, arresting four people and recovering five stolen cars worth around HK$300,000. The four arrestees included two men and two women aged between 24 and 38. They were seized in Tin Yuet Estate of Tin Shui Wai during a raid launched by police on October 29. Five stolen cars were spotted at an open-air parking lot in Tin Shui Wai, Fung Kat Heung Road, and a warehouse in Yuen Long, with a batch of weapons including telescopic sticks and cleavers found inside.
