Sources on Thursday said a man has been arrested in Pat Heung, in connection to an armed robbery in Sheung Shui the previous evening.

In a statement released earlier, police said they suspect that four men, wielding knives and hammers, had robbed a jewellery shop on San Fung Avenue at around 6.30pm on Wednesday.

Officers said the suspects fled the scene in a private car, which later crashed with another vehicle on Lam Kam Road near Ng Tung Chai.

Police said three men then fled the crash scene.
