The police joined with the Government Flying Service to search the nearby hills. During the operation, two rucksacks were found on a hillside in Mok Tse Che, containing house breaking tools, which are believed to be related to the burglary.

As the culprits are still hiding in the hills near Sai Kung, the police appeal to the public to lock doors and windows and be vigilant. If you see any suspicious activity, please call Tseung Kwan O Task Force 6277 4500 or 999 for help immediately.
