Member of Transformers film crew tells court man accused of conspiracy to blackmail implied on set that they should pay money
A crew member at the shooting of the latest blockbuster felt compelled to pay money after being approached by a suspected triad member, the District Court heard yesterday.

The court heard Tse - who has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to commit blackmail, and loitering with intent to commit an arrestable offence - showed up at the filming location with a group of men on October 22.
Tong, who was in charge of the set's decoration, was having lunch in the area at the time but returned to the set after receiving a call from a colleague who said a situation had arisen.
When she arrived back at the set Tse demanded to speak to the person in charge on the set, she said.
