Coronavirus: Hong Kong trio jailed over bizarre toilet roll theft committed as Covid-19 panic buying swept city

Three men have each been jailed for more than three years for stealing 600 toilet rolls in a bizarre armed robbery during the initial coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong last year.

The District Court heard the robbery took place at about 6am on February 17, when a delivery man was unloading goods outside a Wellcome supermarket in Mong Kok.
