Several high-value robberies targeting currency exchange businesses have occurred in the area, involving millions of yen and prompting police investigations and arrests. These incidents raise concerns about the security of foreign exchange firms in the district. In addition to crime, Sheung Wan experienced disruptions on the MTR Island line, with service suspensions caused by maintenance equipment left on the tracks.
