According to a news report from Hong Kong, the cargo thieves intercepted a batch of chips that was on the move in the city. The logistics company was supposed to move a batch of high-priced electronic chips (14 boxes) worth $644,000 to the manufacturer’s warehouse.
These chips were only being transferred to a warehouse on the 8th floor of the same building. The truck driver assistant on duty was cornered in an elevator by three men who attacked him as soon as the elevator door closed, leaving him injured. The injured worker quickly notified his colleagues who then reported the incident to the police.
The police were unable to track the thieves down despite setting up roadblocks around the crime site as soon as the incident was reported.
There are no further updates in the story so far.
