Hong Kong police have arrested 57 individuals, including a 14-year-old, in a crackdown on a triad-linked illegal debt collection ring. The operation, which began last month, also led to the dismantling of a prostitution venue, a drug den, and three illegal gambling parlors. The syndicate specifically targeted young people, using messaging apps like WhatsApp to subcontract debt collection tasks for fees ranging from HK$500 to HK$800, employing tactics such as vandalism and harassment.
