Police in Hong Kong have arrested two men and are searching for a third after the group stole about 600 rolls of toilet paper, in a robbery likely sparked by coronavirus fears that have gripped the city.
Early Monday morning, a delivery worker was transporting goods to a supermarket in the city's Mong Kok district. He had placed about 50 packs of toilet rolls, containing a total of about 600 rolls, outside the supermarket when three men stole them, a police spokesperson told CNN.
