Badly injured man who later died linked to five burglaries at remote Hong Kong Sea Ranch estate

A suspected serial burglar who was found severely injured at an isolated pier and later died in hospital may have fallen during a break-in at a remote seaside housing estate on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island, according to police.

The force also said on Thursday it might seek help from mainland Chinese counterparts in the search for two of the 37-year-old man’s suspected accomplices who left Hong Kong right after the incident.
