Two men arrested over a 1 billion yen (US$6.4 million) robbery in Hong Kong were remanded in custody after appearing at Fanling Court on Friday.
Lee Wan-kwong, 36, and Lee Chun-wa, 28, were each charged with conspiracy to commit robbery alongside seven others accused of robbing two men of 1.08 billion yen on December 18 in Central.
Lee Wan-kwong was alleged to have been the mastermind behind the operation, while Lee Chun-wa was accused of handling the stolen cash.
According to court documents, both are decoration workers and hold Hong Kong identity cards.
Magistrate Kenneth Chan Ping-chau, who presided over the hearing, rejected their bail applications and ordered that the pair remain in custody.
He adjourned the case until March 17, 2026, at Eastern Court, pending further police investigation.
