HKFour former Hong Kong warehouse workers have been sentenced to prison terms of up to seven years for conspiring to steal over 800 unsold Chanel handbags and wallets valued at HK$8.7 million. The thefts occurred between June 2016 and February 2017 at the Goodman Interlink warehouse in Tsing Yi. The stolen items were outdated merchandise from Chanel’s 2014-15 collection, which was meant to be disposed of to maintain product exclusivity. Warehouse supervisor Ng Yiu-lun provided his accomplices with the password to a lift used by Chanel staff. Two of the accused initially tried to hide the items rather than destroy them as per protocol, but security staff discovered the items and failed to report the incident to police.
