Although their members number into the tens of thousands, it is said that the Triads in Hong Kong form temporary syndicates for a specific crime or a series of crimes, making it difficult for the police to trace their identity.
Kuigi Hongkongi triaadide liikmete arv ulatub kümnetesse tuhandetesse, räägitakse, et nad moodustavad mingi konkreetse kuriteo või rea kuritegude tarbeks ajutisi sündikaate, mistõttu politseil on raske neile jälile jõuda.
