A 69-year-old man reported a break-in at his two-storey house in Greenwood Terrace on Sui Wo Road in Fo Tan. Police received the report at 9.50pm on Saturday after the owner discovered jewellery missing from the master bedroom.
The owner told police he had checked the master bedroom around 6pm before joining his family for dinner in the ground-floor living room. When he returned later, he found the bedroom door locked from inside. After unlocking it, he discovered the room had been ransacked.
A jewellery box had been pried open. Ten necklaces, 15 rings and six brooches were missing. The loss was estimated at HK$751,000, or about US$95,838.
The incident occurred while the family was dining downstairs at the luxury home in Greenwood Terrace.
