A 10-year-old boy who was among the three that robbed a luxury watch store earlier this week has been ordered to be detained in a juvenile home while police continue to investigate his alleged role in the crime.


The alleged boy, who could not be named for legal reasons and a 19-year-old Shiyan Khan, a construction worker were policed on Thursday to Kowloon City Court on a joint charge of robbery regarding the smash-and-grab heist in Tsim Sha Tsui on Monday afternoon.




They were not required to enter a plea as prosecutors asked for eight weeks for police to conduct further inquiries.


Principal Magistrate Don So Man-lung rejected the pair’s bail applications and remanded them in custody until the next hearing in November.


Khan was detained in the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre while the boy, who had just attained the age where he could be charged with a criminal offence, was being held in the Tuen Mun Children and Juvenile Home.


The court heard the case on 20 high-end watches worth HK$3.7 million that were stolen from the VIP Station store on Canton Road by the two defendants and two others, who were not identified on a charge sheet available for press inspection.


Aside from the accused two, police have also apprehended a 14-year-old boy on suspicion of robbery and a 17-year-old student for allegedly misleading the force. The 17- years- old has been granted bail and released.



搶劫豪華手錶店的四人中,一名 10 歲男孩被關押在少年之家



本週早些時候搶劫一家豪華手錶店的三人中的一名 10 歲男孩已被下令拘留在少年之家,警方仍在繼續調查他涉嫌在犯罪中所扮演的角色。

這名因法律原因無法透露姓名的涉嫌男孩和一名 19 歲的建築工人 Shiyan Khan 週四在九龍城法院因共同指控尖沙砸搶搶劫案而被控搶劫週一下午徐。

他們不需要認罪,因為檢察官要求警方有八週的時間進行進一步調查。

首席裁判官蘇文龍拒絕了兩人的保釋申請,並將他們還押至 11 月的下一次聽證會。

汗被拘留在荔枝角收押所,而這名剛剛達到可被指控刑事罪的年齡的男孩則被關押在屯門兒童及青少年院。

法院審理了這起案件,涉及兩名被告和另外兩名被告從廣東道VIP Station 商店盜竊了20 塊價值370 萬港元的高檔手錶,而可供新聞界查閱的指控單上沒有列出這兩人的身份。

除了兩名被告外,警方還逮捕了一名涉嫌搶劫的 14 歲男孩和一名涉嫌誤導警方的 17 歲學生。 這名 17 歲的男子已獲准保釋並釋放。
