HONG KONG (Reuters) - Police have arrested 18 employees of a Hong Kong lifestyle and retail chain over a controversial new line of T-shirts bearing the name of a well-known triad gang. 

The Goods of Desire, or G.O.D. store, known for its idiosyncratic and trendy designs drawing on Hong Kong street culture, printed a batch of T-shirts with the Chinese characters for "14K" -- the name of one of the former British colony's major triad societies.
