Financial transport operations were highly confidential, and their routes naturally could not remain fixed.
The transport procedures of all the banks across Hong Kong were more or less the same.
Only when an Armoured Cash Van was ready to depart would the transport supervisor receive its precise route from the bank's senior management.
Thus, even though Ho Wing-keung was the inside man for Cheung Man Yiu and Tin Yeung-sang, he could not have planned the entire transport process for this 100 Million US Dollars in cash ahead of time.
That clearly gave Chow Sing Sing room to maneuver.
For this Special Campaign, the National Security Department's sole concern was that innocent citizens nearby might get caught up in it when Tin Yeung-sang and his men struck.
As for simply arresting Tin Yeung-sang's Ronin Group before they acted, that approach was not realistic.
To catch thieves, they needed the stolen goods. Taking action without clear, solid evidence would only alert the suspects.
After all, Wai King-dat was not carrying any listening or surveillance equipment, to ensure his personal safety.
As such, the National Security Department could not accurately ascertain the Tin Yeung-sang Ronin Group's current situation.
If they had already prepared the weapons they would use, things would be easier.
He Wenzhan could lead a raid and immediately charge them with illegal possession of firearms.
The other charges could then be established through interrogation.
But it was always the unexpected possibility they had to guard against.
If Tin Yeung-sang was being extremely cautious and would only retrieve the weapons from some secret location right before striking, things would be different.
If the Police Force acted now, they would ultimately have to release them without charges.
Wai King-dat's testimony alone was nowhere near enough to convict the Tin Yeung-sang Ronin Group.
