3 Workers Arrested Over Theft at Hong Kong's Wang Fuk Court

Police in Hong Kong have arrested three construction workers suspected of theft at the Wang Fuk Court estate in Tai Po. The seizure included HK$90,000 (US$11,510) in gold jewellery. The estate, which was severely damaged in a fatal fire last November, is still recovering from the tragedy that claimed 168 lives and left thousands displaced. The fire started at Wang Cheong House and spread to multiple blocks, including Wang Tai House. Some displaced residents reported observing lights in flats of Wang Cheong House on Thursday evening. This incident underscores the ongoing security concerns and the lasting impact of the 2025 fire on the community.
