A man wearing a restaurant uniform was caught by an employee after allegedly stealing over HK$500 worth of goods from a Circle K convenience store in Tuen Mun, according to video footage circulating online.
Online videos show a red-shirted store employee intercepting the suspect—who had 'YLK' printed on his grey shirt—outside the cash register. The employee accused the man of repeated thefts over multiple days and called for assistance as the suspect attempted to deny the act and offer compensation.
Footage shows the employee subduing and holding onto the suspect along the shopping arcade corridor until police were called, while another person wearing a matching uniform arrived to check on the situation.
Internet users identified the 'YLK' logo as belonging to a nearby restaurant. The store ultimately reported the case to police.
