A mainland businessman had HK$187,000 stolen from his hotel room on Saturday by a woman, after spending the night with her, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said yesterday.
Speaking during a regular press briefing, the spokesperson said the man reported the case to the police on Saturday. The victim told PJ officers that HK$187,000 in cash had gone missing from his hotel room in the city centre that morning and that he suspected that the woman had stolen the cash and then left.
