A daring robbery was committed last night in the Wanchai district when four unknown men entered a money exchange at Hennessy Road, near the Bowrington Canal, at about 9 pm and after firing six random shots at a foki in the shop attic, got away with a number of Hong Kong banknotes, sald to be worth $400.

Detectives from the No. 2 Police Station were on the scene almost immediately after the incident.

From enquiries it was revealed that entry was made by three men' through the main door, while a fourth came in by the side en trance. One of the party pro- duced a pistol and held up the shop accountant,, while another robber went to the shop counter and proceeded to ransack it.
