- Dozens of officers in position inside and outside Tseung Kwan O Plaza shopping centre before suspect driven there in unmarked police car
One of two women accused of stuffing a three-year-old boy into a suitcase after snatching him in a Hong Kong shopping centre for a ransom of US$660,000 in cryptocurrency has been taken to the alleged crime scene for a police re-enactment.
Dozens of uniformed and plain-clothes officers were in position inside and outside Tseung Kwan O Plaza shopping centre before the suspect was driven there in an unmarked police car shortly after 11.30am on Friday.
The boy was rescued at about 5.25am on Thursday, around 12 hours after the abduction, when officers from the organised crime and triad bureau broke into a flat at The Wings private housing estate in Tseung Kwan O. The pair were arrested in the flat.
At around 11.35am on Friday, officers took a black suitcase and a stroller from one of their cars outside the mall.
Investigators revealed on Thursday that the suspects had prepared a suitcase and a stroller to transport the victim after snatching him inside the shopping centre on Wednesday afternoon.
One hooded suspect, handcuffed to a chain around her waist, was escorted out the black seven-seater at around 11.45am. She was dressed in a grey T-shirt, black shorts and flip-flops.
