Staff at second-hand luxury stores in Hong Kong fear for safety after robbery
Employees at second-hand luxury goods stores in Hong Kong have voiced fears over their safety after a Tsim Sha Tsui shop was robbed of HK$3 million (US$382,170) in Hermes and Van Cleef & Arpels products, with a saleswoman rendered unconscious during the crime. Security and insurance experts highlighted the importance of insuring luxury goods, installing comprehensive antitheft measures and carrying out staff training to minimise the risk of becoming a target for criminals. Zoe Chan, an employee at MM Station, a second-hand luxury goods store in the same neighbourhood as the business that was robbed on Wednesday, said she was worried the shop's security system was not enough to protect staff. 'There is nothing else we can do [in case of a robbery],' she told the Post. The store on Granville Road is equipped with surveillance cameras, gates at the door that beep if someone leaves with a tagged item and an alarm system that automatically calls police if someone tries to break in. There is also an access control system at the doors. Mia Chan Wai-shin, co-owner of JM Vintage, a second-hand luxury goods store on Hart Avenue, said staff felt vulnerable despite having comprehensive security measures in place, such as surveillance cameras.
