The Judiciary Police (PJ) announced yesterday the arrests of a man and two women for an alleged scam in which they worked together with a fugitive male suspect to deceive a local bank into lending them HK$20 million for their business in the mainland.
A PJ spokesperson said at a regular press briefing yesterday that the bank reported the case to the police last November.
The spokesperson identified the three suspects as a 40-year-old man surnamed Pun, a 41-year-old woman surnamed Wu and a 55-year-old woman also surnamed Pun. All of them are locals. Wu is the wife of the fugitive suspect, while the other two are his relatives.
