+The headline has been updated to reflect that the arrests have been made in connection with the 1 billion yen robbery.
+
+Hong Kong police have arrested 15 suspects in connection with a robbery outside a currency exchange, during which four suitcases containing 1 billion yen (US$6.3 million) were snatched within 30 seconds as part of a “meticulously planned” plot.
+
+The force said on Monday that it was still trying to recover the cash, adding that the robbery targeted two employees of a Japanese company specialising in cryptocurrency and luxury goods, who had planned to exchange 1 billion yen, or about HK$50 million, at the shop on Wing Lok Street in Sheung Wan.
+
+The pair were ambushed when they arrived at the shop at 9am on Thursday last week by three assailants who jumped out of a private car.
+
+“One of them brandished a 20cm [8-inch] butcher knife and threatened the two employees, snatching the cash in the four suitcases and loading them into their car before fleeing the scene,” Superintendent Sin Kwok-ming said.
+
+The 11 men and four women, aged 20 to 69, were arrested in connection with the robbery. All are local residents and several are known to have triad backgrounds.
+
+Seven of them – six men and one woman – have been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.
