Rush for cash as $2M spills on Hong Kong highway A cash transport vehicle spilled millions of dollars in bundled #banknotes across a busy road in #WanChai, #HongKong SAR on Wednesday, sparking a frenzied “mad-dash for #cash” by passersby trying to get their hands on as much “free” cash as possible. Over HK$15 million (US$1.93 mln) were gone in minutes along #GloucesterRoad as drivers and pedestrians scurried to grab the notes. Not so fast, say the authorities. “Any person who finds the relevant bank notes should return them to police as soon as possible, or they may be committing a theft,” police warned in a statement. The armored van was transporting a total HK$525 million (US$67.64 mln) in cash, according to the police. Three boxes filled of HK$15.23 million (US$1.96 mln) were lost during the transportation. British security company #G4S which is responsible for transporting the cash said it expected to be liable for the loss of millions. Sheeta Leung Hui-kwan, a spokeswoman for G4S Hong Kong, said an internal probe was underway, but initial findings blamed a van door malfunction. -Stay Updated, Visit- Newsonnet.ng
