Knife-wielding men who stole hundreds of toilet rolls during panic-buying shortages in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic in Hong Kong were jailed for more than three years on Thursday.

新型冠狀病毒大流行初期搶購潮造成的物資短缺期間,在香港揮刀搶走數百捲衛生紙的男子,週四被判入獄3年多。

The three were each sentenced to 40 months in prison over the armed robbery in February last year in which some 600 toilet rolls were taken, Mingpao newspaper reported.

明報報導,這3人因為去年2月持刀搶劫,各被判有期徒刑40個月;該起搶案中搶走約600捲衛生紙。

During the robbery, the three men admitted to using a knife to threaten a delivery driver outside a major supermarket chain.

這3人承認,犯案時在一家主要連鎖超市外,用刀子威脅一名物流司機。
