Police have arrested a man for allegedly stealing electronic equipment worth HK$3 million (US$386,112) from Hong Kong Disneyland’s warehouse and another two on suspicion of buying the goods at a low price
The force said on Wednesday that the suspects comprised a former warehouse worker at the theme park on Lantau Island, a staff member and the owner of a recycling store.
Park staff reported the theft on Tuesday, with police noting network switches and firewall devices were among the stolen items. Authorities said their total value was about HK$3 million.
The force said the 28-year-old ex-warehouse worker, surnamed Zheng, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly stealing 18 boxes of electronics.
During investigations, officers discovered that a car registered to Zheng visited the warehouse between March 1 and 7, when they learned he had not returned to work.
Upon further investigation, the force found that the electronics had been sold to a recycling store in Sham Shui Po in three separate batches.
