Man tries to rob tycoon, fails

A young man tried to break into Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing's house, but failed, ifeng reported on Tuesday.

Meng Hongwei, a 19-year-old unemployed mainlander dressed all in black, was caught red-handed by police as he tried to climb over at the fence of Li's mansion, which is at 79 Deep Water Bay Road in Hong Kong, on the first day of the Easter holidays on Friday night.

According to the report, the 4-storey mansion on a hillside was completed in 2013, and is heavily guarded by security and surrounded by a fence.
