On the eve of the National Day, a series of National Day banners were destroyed in Hong Kong, and two men were arrested.
The two cases also occurred last Friday (September 30). Among them, 19 National Day banners with a length of about 1.5 meters by 1 meter disappeared on the footbridge of Kwai Fong Hing Fong Road across Kwai Fuk Road. .
On the same day, the police arrested a local man surnamed Li (56 years old), who is suspected of "theft" and is being detained for investigation.
It is understood that the arrested man worked as a cook and reported that he was troubled by insomnia, so he tore up the banner to vent and threw the banner in a nearby trash can.
The Kwai Tsing District Criminal Investigation Team has taken over the follow-up of the case.
In addition, at about 5 o'clock in the evening on the same day, a National Day banner was also torn up on the footbridge across Hennessy Road on O'Brien Road in Wan Chai.
Police later arrested a 79-year-old man nearby on suspicion of "criminal damage". Police are investigating his motive.
