Last updated: 2019-12-15 23:57Police recently arrested three men in a remote part of Xiao Leng Shui Road, Tuen Mun, for conducting an explosion test. The three were detained for investigation at night. It is understood that one of the 27-year-old men who was arrested worked as a laboratory technician at St. Simon's Lu Mingcai Middle School in Tuen Mun Sheng Kung Hui. Anglican Saint Simon's Lu Mingcai Middle School issued a statement today saying that the police had arranged a deputy principal and assistant principal to observe from the time of entering the school's evidence search, emphasizing that the school would take serious measures and follow up, and strengthen counseling work for teachers and students when necessary.
Anglican Saint Simon's Lu Mingcai Middle School issued a statement today stating that it received a police notice last Saturday (14th) that a laboratory technician at the school was arrested for criminal offences and requested a search warrant to enter the laboratory to search for evidence. The school immediately arranged the vice principal and assistant principal to observe the situation.
The school stated that it understands the concerns of various stakeholders, including parents, and the school is not in a position to comment because the incident is still under investigation by the police. In this incident, the school will handle and follow up seriously. In addition, the school will take all reasonable measures to ensure the safety of all teachers and students in the school. It will also pay close attention to the emotional situation of students and teachers and strengthen counselling work when necessary.
Another unemployed male and electrical technician arrested
Last Saturday (14th), the police took an intelligence-led operation and arrested three Chinese men, a 27-year-old middle school laboratory technician, a 27-year-old unemployed man, and a 40-year-old electrical technician. The three were originally non-friends. It is estimated that they met and ganged up during the earlier demonstrations. The three were suspected of conducting an explosion test in a remote location on Xiao Lengshui Road, which involved remote control devices. In addition, defensive equipment, including shields, bulletproof vests and gas masks were found at the scene.
After investigation, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Division believed that some people had tested dangerous goods and explosives at the scene, and there were burn marks in some places, but it is estimated that the quantity was not large, and the diameter of the explosion range was only about 4 to 5 inches wide. Police also seized a small amount of chemicals and explosives from the arrested persons and seized remote-control transmitters, including transmitters and receivers, at the scene. Low-frequency receivers could be used to explode chemicals.
The device involved has fewer delays than a mobile phone
It is reported that the remote-controlled explosive device seized in this case is different from the explosive devices seized earlier in Mong Kok and Wah Yan College, because the remote-control device in this case did not use a mobile phone to remotely detonate, but used a gray receiver. It is reported that the use of a receiver for remote control detonation has fewer delays than the use of a mobile phone for remote control detonation. The principle of the devices is not similar, and it is not ruled out that this case is not the same as the offenders in the past two cases. At present, the source of the explosives and devices used in the case is still under investigation. It is not ruled out that it is related to the occupation of the arrested person. He is now knowing whether anyone has obtained chemicals from the school.
