  (flag legend: 'kidnappings' is the DETENTION flag — 1 when the victim was held against
   their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the
   same as the 'Kidnapping' scenario, which means taken away and held. See README, Definitions.)

AI SUMMARY  [revised on review, verified against the sources in this file. Live DB still holds the shorter bulk-import summary — apply this to it.]
  **Victims:** A 41-year-old man surnamed Wong, in the Cheung Sha Wan area of Hong Kong.
  
  **Attackers:** An unidentified man, still at large (about 1.75 m tall, in a black long-sleeved top).
  
  **Attack Method:** Late on 13 March 2025, around 11:39 p.m. on Lai Wan Road near the Lai Chi Kok Government Offices, a man approached Wong from behind and snatched the plastic bag of cash he was carrying, then fled toward King Lai Path. Earlier that evening Wong had met a buyer on Sung Wong Toi Road to complete a cryptocurrency sale and was on his way home.
  
  **Violence Used:** No detention and no assault reported — the bag was snatched from behind. (The database description's "beaten with a stick" is not supported by the linked article.)
  
  **Crypto Demanded/Stolen:** He had just sold about HK$318,000 of cryptocurrency and was robbed of the HK$318,000 in cash he had received for it.
  
  **Status:** The suspect fled and remains at large; police searched the area without success, classified the case as robbery, and continued the investigation.

The incident occurred at 11.39pm on Lai Wan Road, near the Lai Chi Kok Government Offices. Wong was reportedly carrying a plastic bag containing the cash when an unidentified man approached him from behind and snatched the bag. The suspect fled in the direction of King Lai Path and remains at large.
Police officers conducted a search in the vicinity but were unable to locate the perpetrator. The case has been classified as a robbery, and authorities are pursuing a suspect described as approximately 1.75 metres tall and dressed in a black long-sleeve top at the time of the incident.
Earlier in the evening, Wong had arranged to meet a buyer on Sung Wong Toi Road in Kowloon City to complete a cryptocurrency transaction. After concluding the deal, he was en route to his residence at Wah Lai Estate when the robbery occurred.
The incident underscores the risks associated with carrying large amounts of cash for private financial transactions. Police are continuing their investigation to apprehend the suspect.
