#CoronaVirus: Armed robbers stole hundreds of toilet rolls in Hong Kong
According to police, the robbers robbed a delivery man outside a supermarket in Ming Kok district.
According to local media reports, police have arrested two persons and recovered some stolen rolls.
The robbery happened Monday morning in Ming Kok District. This area of Hong Kong is famous for crime gangs.
According to local reports, robbers threatened the delivery worker when he took off the toilet paper rolls outside the Wellcome supermarket.
Apple Daily reports that 600 toilet paper rolls valued at $ 1695 Hong Kong dollars have been stolen.
Long queues and luggage have been seen coming to new stores in stores across the city.
Despite government assurances that supplies are not affected by the outbreak of the Corona virus, Hong Kong residents are storing toilet paper.
Troubled people have also been seen buying rice, pasta and cleaning supplies.
The number of Corona virus deaths has increased to more than 1700. Hong Kong residents are trying to protect themselves from the Corona virus, so it's almost impossible to get facial masks and hand sanitizers.
A police spokesman said that "three men threatened a delivery man with a knife and stole hundreds of toilet rolls worth 1000 Hong Kong dollars (US $ 130, 98 pounds)."
Authorities accuse rumors spread online of panic buying. The supply of food and household supplies is stable, he says.
In Singapore, buyers were also found buying toilet rolls, hand sanitizers and face masks. So far 75 people have been diagnosed with the Corona virus in Singapore.
