Hong Kong man arrested over theft of HK$129,000 from AXA office
Police say more than 80 staff members had money stolen from insurance firm’s Causeway Bay office in Times Square
The force said on Thursday it had arrested the 32-year-old the day before in Tseung Kwan O after reviewing security camera footage.
On Tuesday last week, an employee at AXA’s customer service centre on the 20th floor of Tower 2 at Times Square in Causeway Bay discovered that cash previously kept in a drawer was missing.
Other employees also reported missing cash and filed a police report.
Police said a combined HK$129,000 was stolen from 83 staff members, involving cash and “red packet” money they were keeping on desks or in drawers.
Security footage showed a man entering the premises by following other staff members through a side door at around 4pm on Monday last week.
