125 arrested in police crackdown on triad-run lunchbox racket, illegal gambling dens

Hong Kong police recently rounded up 125 individuals linked to a notorious triad group that allegedly controlled the lunchbox service for construction workers and ran illegal gambling operations. This crackdown highlights the triad's extensive influence in East Kowloon, a region experiencing a surge in residential projects. With the demand for food services skyrocketing, the police aim to dismantle the triad's stranglehold and restore legal business operations. This move is crucial for maintaining law and order and curbing organized crime in one of the city's most active areas.
