Wong Tai Sin appeared as a dung madman.
Some district councillors received complaints from residents that since last year, feces and urine bombs were thrown at the heights of the Leren Building in Tsile Village. The frequency was as high as three to four times a week. The passerby won the first prize and pointed out that the opponent had no direction "different floors, different angles, and directions." Even if the building was equipped with a sky eye and a high-altitude monitoring team, it would not help the perpetrator, so he asked the police for assistance.
Wong Tai Sin District Councillor, Cheung Mao, stated in the Wong Tai Sin District Council early in the morning that a resident on the eighth floor of Lok Yan House, Tsz Lok Estate, Tsz Wan Shan, complained to the units on the upper floor since October last year. There were dozens of feces and urine-laden dirt, and the worst was as many as three to four times a week. Some of them just fell down the pipes or windows of the unit, and some of the dirt fell directly into the open space outside the gate of Le Ren Building. Afterwards, the security of the building came to the scene to cover it with a newspaper, and then called for a cleaner to clean up the scene.
He also pointed out that even if the Housing Department installs a high-altitude projectile monitoring system commonly known as the "Sky Eye" in the black spots of the building, the other party seems to know the video corner of the Sky Eye. I have cctv, sometimes I don’t know the unit, or even go out from the corridor.” After the incident, the management company once contacted the police to arrive at the scene, but the uniformed police arrived at the scene to copy the information and left without further follow-up. The incident happened again.
He believes that under the raging epidemic, the relevant behaviors have seriously affected environmental health and are like spreading drugs. He asked the Housing Department to step up inspections and arrest the feces gangsters as soon as possible.
Members questioned the lack of manpower in the high-altitude surveillance team
Another district councillor, Wu Chi-kin, is concerned that the Housing Department has a special task force (commonly known as the high-altitude monitoring team) to monitor objects thrown from heights. However, according to his knowledge, there are only one or two teams in the entire Wong Tai Sin District. Each team visits the estate. The frequency is about once every one to two months. If there are too few manpower, it will be difficult to improve the performance of high-altitude surveillance. It is questioned that "a team of people (at all) catches the murderer, so sulking."
Zhang Maoqing added that the front-line security has tried their best to clean up and patrol, but the problem is that even if an object is thrown out by the sky, it is difficult to confirm from which position it was picked up due to the angle and night vision. The suspect deliberately avoided the eyes of the sky. "If you add 100 cams, you don't know the effect. The culprit has little wisdom." He believes that the Housing Department should ask the police for help and arrest the suspect through criminal investigations.
The representative of the Housing Department admitted that the incident involving high-altitude dumping was "very tricky." The other party kept changing places to commit crimes, and even acted in public places such as the lift lobby. It was impossible to confirm which unit was dumped and points were deducted. The high-altitude monitoring team was present to investigate. However, it was not effective. The department once tied all the transoms in the lift lobby, but believed that the effect was not obvious but had not been implemented. In the future, it will discuss with the Police and Civil Relations Division whether it can help.
In order to deter residents of public housing estates from throwing objects from heights, the Housing Authority will deduct 7 or 15 points from tenants who throw objects from heights based on the existing points deduction system.
As for illegal acts that cause serious danger or personal injury caused by throwing objects from a height, the Housing Authority will immediately terminate the tenant's tenancy agreement by citing the Housing Ordinance.
