Robber who stole Hermes bags in Hong Kong caught in Thailand, to be extradited

A robber who fled to Thailand after allegedly stealing 11 pre-owned Hermes bags and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace worth nearly HK$3 million (US$382,170) in total has been caught and will be extradited to Hong Kong, the Post has learned. The robbery happened on Wednesday afternoon, with the heavyset suspect entering the premises in Tsim Sha Tsui, rendering a staff member unconscious and tying her up before escaping with the items, according to a source. The Post learned that the man had fled to Thailand after the robbery but was later apprehended and would be sent back to Hong Kong on Thursday. The source earlier said that a 42-year-old female staff member had opened the store at 9.30am and the suspect, who was wearing a black hat, glasses and a black face mask, entered and asked about a white Hermes handbag. After claiming he had to leave to withdraw cash, the man returned at around 12.10pm and bought the bag. He told the staff member he wished to stay in the store to browse some more, but suddenly covered the victim's face with a small towel, causing her to lose consciousness.
