Yip Kai Foon (Chinese: 葉繼歡 ; 12 June 1961 – 19 April 2017, born in Haifeng, China), also known as “Teeth Dog” and “Goosehead”, was an infamous Chinese illegal immigrant turned gangster who was most active in Hong Kong from the early 1980s to 1990s. He and his gang specialised in robbing jewellery stores with assault rifles. Their weapon of choice was the AK 47 assault rifle, which they acquired from black markets hosted by triads. He is also the first person to have used an AK 47 during an armed robbery in Hong Kong.

In October 1984, when he was 23, Yip led a gang of five armed mainland men into Hong Kong. They robbed two jewelry stores, King Fook Jewellery Co. Ltd on 10 October 1984 and Dickson Jewellery Co. Ltd. on 27 October 1984; they managed to obtain more than HK$2.00 million worth of precious items as a result. In the course of both robberies, shots were fired. An undercover policeman posed as a potential buyer for the stolen goods as part of a sting operation. During the subsequent 28 December 1984 meeting, once the policeman identified himself, Yip attempted to shoot him and a violent struggle occurred. After Yip was subdued, he was found with two handguns, later linked by ballistics to the October robberies.
