Ouyang Zhaogang pointed out that the social economy deteriorated due to the epidemic situation and criminal groups were waiting to commit crimes. In the first half of the Yuen Long District, there was an upward trend involving burglary and robbery. The police will conduct high-profile patrols in high-risk areas. However, he pointed out that the police rarely patrol the malls and the police will patrol outside the malls. He called on the store to strengthen the staff's awareness of crime prevention and to improve the store's security system. The public can immediately notify the police if they find suspicious activities.
