The police arrested two people in Mong Kok yesterday. A 29-year-old and a 31-year-old non-Chinese male, suspected of theft. The owner of the cat, Ms. Chen, said in an interview with this newspaper that although the golden pillow had returned to their hands, she still acted in panic and needed to be put in a cage for the time being. Ms. Chen had put a neckband on him to avoid being misunderstood that he was a cat. Stray cats or cats without owners.
The incident happened at regarding 10 o’clock in the evening on February 4, 2023. Not long following the fruit shop opened, the clerk found that the golden pillow was missing. The cat owner, Ms. Chen, checked the CCTV and found that at 10:18 that night Two men and a woman with a dog approached the door of the freezer. One of the men took Maomao Jinzhen away and left in the direction of Dechangli. Ms. Chen said that her colleagues who worked at night said that they had the impression that they had seen someone take the dog past, but they hadn’t seen them since Jin Zhen was taken away.
Jinzhen is only 5 months old at the moment. It was born to the store manager’s cat mother “Jin Xing” and cat father “Jin Qi”. A family of three lives in the store. Jin Xing and Jin Qi both have neckbands. Ms. Chen said that because of the age of Jin Zhen It was too light, and I didn’t wear a neck strap at the time, and I was worried that it would be misunderstood as a stray cat.
This newspaper exclusively reported the incident the day before yesterday. Ms. Chen also reported the incident to the police, but she received a message from the police last night that the golden pillow had been recovered following investigation. Ms. Chen felt very grateful for her lost and recovered cat, but she admitted that Jin Zhen was still very panicked, so she temporarily put him in a cage and asked him to wear a neck strap.
The police said that following in-depth investigations and a large number of closed-circuit television footage, officers from the Yau Tsim District Intelligence Unit and the Animal Crime Police Squad identified two men on the same day.
