"The suspects used a hammer to smash the display case in the store before escaping with 20 expensive watches. The entire robbery took only 30 seconds," a police source said. "The stolen watches were worth HK$3.7 million."

During the crime, the robbers caused minor injuries to the hand of a watch store employee.

Police said the 19-year-old Pakistani man was arrested shortly after the crime, while the two boys, aged 10 and 14, were arrested on September 14.

The 10-year-old boy admitted to having received 5,000 HKD as a reward and skipped school to participate in the robbery.

The suspects were brought back to the store to reenact the crime on the afternoon of September 14.

In connection with the incident, Hong Kong police also arrested a 17-year-old male teenager on charges of "failure to report a crime". It is known that this is the brother of one of the above suspects.
