A Taiwanese man who stole watches worth nearly HK$1 million from a Hong Kong shop has been sentenced to 10 years and 10 months in prison by a Taiwanese court. The court also confiscated NT$2.8 million (HK$747,870) that Lin earned from selling two watches stolen from the Tsim Sha Tsui shop. Lin fled back to Taiwan after robbing the shop in October, creating difficulties for the police investigation due to lack of mutual fugitive arrangements between Taiwan and Hong Kong. The next day, Lin walked into the watch store in Nathan Road and pretended to be a customer to try on two watches worth about HK$990,000. Meanwhile, Hongkonger Chan Tong-kai has kept a low profile after being released from jail in October.
