Coronavirus: Armed robbers steal hundreds of toilet rolls in Hong Kong

Armed robbers in Hong Kong made off with hundreds of toilet rolls worth more than HKD1,000 .

Toilet rolls are currently in short supply in Hong Kong due to shortages caused by panic-buying during the coronavirus outbreak. Knife wielding men robbed a delivery man outside a supermarket in the Mong Kok district, police said.The armed robbery took place in Mong Kok, a district of Hong Kong with a history of"triad" crime gangs, early on Monday.

According to local reports, the robbers had threatened a delivery worker who had unloaded rolls of toilet paper outside Wellcome Supermarket.Stores across the city have seen supplies massively depleted with long queues when new stock arrives.

2 ply or not 2 ply ? That is the question

Stealing all these toilet rolls! What for? Do they also get diarrhea when they are infected with the virus? 🤔

I burst into laugh when i hear this

Carry on at your convenience

Masterminds

Apparently they are looking for a Labrador with the runs

Does that mean there will be “runs” for toilet rolls around Australia that will be shipped to HK/China much like the run on baby formula from the supermarket shelves?

Well that’s just shit on everyone.

The BBC reporting on crap stories again.

they left a paper trail

A Triad gang in Mong Kok? What is this Fake News! But just in case..... AKA ‘Triple Ply’.

They left skid marks when getting away.

It’s a dirty business

Ancient China should be credited for inventing toilet paper. The inventor was Wai Ping.

They've got some shit to deal with

Is there now a black market in toilet paper 🤔

You would get it if it was dysentery but a flu like virus? I’d go for tissues and hand sanitizer.

I smell 💩💩

Meanwhile....

On Sht!!!😀

it kills you but also gives you the shits

(Mugger): 'Your toilet-roll or your life!'

Apparently they arrested a couple of suspects but when police interviewed them they soon realised that their story was just a tissue of lies.

Retailers profits wiped out!

I am very confused as to what relevance this has to the Coronavirus?

Ooooooo they’re hard 🙄🤣🤣🤣

That's alot of sh*t going on.

Bogoff!

shit story

If you faced 2-4 weeks quarantine if your neighbourhood came down with it, wouldn’t you want to be prepared? I don’t see that as panic buying.

What on earth has this got to do with corona virus?

I bet the delivery man was touching cloth.

Shit its bad if you need a gun to rob toilet rolls.

Oh shit.

These are not your bog standard criminals.

It's good when the criminal gangs care more about supply and demand than the government.

Police think they can flush the gang out.

And, after this, they'll start stealing newspapers or (stealing BIG) those giant rolls from which the 'papers are printed.

🤣😅😆😁😄😂😂

Remember years ago when at the border of Hong Kong and China, there was this massive trade in toilet paper. People were dragging cart loads of toilet paper across.

Police are seeking men who seem more flush than usual!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Absolute shit houses 😂😂

Straight to the comments on this one. 😂

Police suggest the culprits may be Diana Dors or Chris Rea..... it's Di or Rea.

Bit shitty of them.

Please thx ccp leave hk alone. It’s absurd. How could the ccp turn a nice safe place into a third world graded city

Hong Kong is going down the shitter

When toilet paper have more value than paper money.

Charmin' people

Loodicrous

Motherfuckers...

THey cant seem to find the robbers as they have nothing to go on

There is a reason they are stealing them. I warned in this space that this day would come. Stock up! It will get far worse before it gets better.

It would have been a clean getaway if it weren’t for the drivers skid marks

Supplies were wiped

Well, everyone needs toilet rolls

Guess they’re having a pretty shitty day.

Hong Kong epidemiologists have focused on transmission of the coronavirus as due etiologically to too many hands squeezing the Charmin.. - Coronavirus: Armed robbers steal hundreds of toilet rolls in Hong Kong

Shit just got real.

Don't panic, follow WHO guidelines, stay safe

That’s a shitty thing to do!

The notorious bumfodder bandits

Shits going down

Shit story

If this was the UK police would be shitting themselves

Did they get a clean get away

What! 😮 Wealth is more important than Money! 😥

Be sure to wipe for fingerprints

Do robbers suffer more from diarrhoea than the general population?. Anyway I though they tended to use a water hose instead of toilet paper over there.

They got completely wiped out.

Hitting them where it hurts.

Were they masked?

The Bog Roll Bandits.

When you get to the hiest and someone’s already beat you too it..

police are bogged down with it..

Shitting Hell! 😮

Shits getting real 😏🚽⚪

Why toilet rolls

Police say they've nothing to go on 🤔

Fair enough. If you need to go....

These guys really have shitforbrains .... 🤦‍♂️

Is it that bad?

Why? When the WORLD 🌎 is connected in trade- especially China 🇨🇳 w/ 🇺🇸 - would they EVER run out of toliet paper? I call bullshit!

Wait... toliet paper? 🤷‍♀️

Merde!
