The spokesman of the HKBU responded to the incident
The university security guard found suspected dangerous goods during the routine work around the student dormitory this afternoon and asked the Fire Services Department for help. After the fire was inspected, it was considered that the police should follow up. After the police arrived at the scene, they suspected that the items were flammable liquids carried in glass bottles. Police officers searched the site and removed the items. No one was arrested in the incident. The school will cooperate with the police investigation.
The spokesman said that the Baptist University had strengthened its security work in the early days, including the decline of outsiders to enter the university. Teachers and students must present their credentials when entering the campus and check the items brought into the school from outside the school.
