Police display a haul of counterfeit documents seized during Operation Flatshore at a news conference at the New Territories South Regional Police Headquarters on July 3, 2024. In the operation that started on June 17, 301 people were arrested for fraud and money laundering, involving HK$370 million ($47.37 million). Authorities have urged residents not to allow criminal gangs to use their bank accounts for collecting money from victims and for money laundering, and pledged to continue organizing anti-fraud campaigns, including setting up dedicated information counters, to enhance public awareness and prevent financial deception.
