Teenage girl arrested after $380,000 cash goes missing from Tseung Kwan O Home

A mother’s discovery of a massive sum of missing cash led to the arrest of her own teenage daughter in Tseung Kwan O on Friday afternoon.

The incident came to light shortly after 1pm yesterday when police received a report from a 47-year-old woman surnamed Chak.

The mother reported that approximately HK$380,000 in cash, which she had kept inside a bedroom at her apartment in Sheung Yan House on the Sheung Tak Estate, had mysteriously vanished.

Believing the money had been stolen, she immediately sought assistance from local authorities.

Police officers dispatched to the scene launched an immediate investigation into the disappearance of the funds.

Following initial inquiries, officers arrested a 13-year-old girl on suspicion of theft. Investigators later confirmed that the detained minor is the daughter of the complainant.

The teenager was taken into custody and remains detained for further questioning as authorities work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The case has been classified as a theft and is currently being handled by the Tseung Kwan O District Criminal Investigation Team.
