Hong Kong police recently concluded an operation that resulted in the arrest of six individuals suspected of operating a burglary syndicate. The group is believed to be responsible for at least 25 separate break-ins that occurred across the city in recent weeks. According to police reports, the total value of the stolen cash and valuables recovered or linked to the group exceeds HK$3.6 million (US$458,773).

The suspects, who range in age from 31 to 45, were apprehended on Friday after investigators reviewed extensive surveillance footage. The group consists of five mainland Chinese nationals and one local Hong Kong resident. Among the mainland suspects, three are identified as illegal immigrants, while two others are described as a couple. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities process the evidence collected during the operation.
