The beheading and shooting of a South Asian gang in the streets of Central last Friday (10th) in the early hours of the morning. Apart from exposing the instability of local law and order, it also shows that there are loopholes in firearms supervision and that the law enforcement departments are ineffective. Illegal gun possession cases have occurred many times in the past, and now there is a new case. The police received a report at regarding 4:30 pm on the same day as the Central shooting case, alleging that someone suspected of having a suspected pistol object in Tung Chau Street, Cheung Sha Wan. When the police arrived, they intercepted a man surnamed Luo (30 years old) and seized the suspected imitation pistol in his bag.
The police then escorted the arrested man to his residence on Cannes Road, Tseung Kwan O for further searches. As a result, 12 imitation firearms were recovered. A wireless walkie-talkie, a vest with police badges, goggles, a helmet, etc. were also seized. He was arrested on suspicion of “possessing imitation firearms” and “possessing radio transmitters without a license” and took him to the department for investigation. The case was handed over to the Sham Shui Po District Criminal Investigation Team for follow-up. Investigate further the origin of the imitation firearms and other items.
