Territory's wealthy seek safety by hiring bodyguards

Article Abstract:

Jardine Secucor Gurkha Services Ltd. enjoys booming security business as Hong Kong's wealthy seek bodyguards for personal safety. Rich local citizens, although the territory's reported robberies declined by 29% in 1996 to 3,928 cases over the previous year and burglaries decreased by 20% to 12,000 cases during the same period, fear that Hong Kong's imminent hand-over to the mainland would result to an escalation in crime rates.
