A number of burglary cases have occurred in Hong Kong Island recently, and most of the buildings connected to the hillside have become targets. The Government Flying Service and other departments launched a joint anti-burglary operation code-named "Eagle Teng" today (6th), conducting anti-burglary patrols in the Central District, and setting up roadblocks along the site at different times to intercept suspicious vehicles or Passengers, while the Government Flying Service patrolled the air above the site.
The police will continue to maintain close communication with the community, strengthen police-civilian cooperation, and adopt intelligence-led strategic deployments, cooperate with high-profile patrols, and conduct joint operations with other departments from time to time to prevent and combat burglary crimes and protect the lives and properties of citizens.
The police remind the public to ensure that the security facilities inside and outside the residence are operating normally. If it is not necessary, avoid placing valuables or large amounts of money in the unit. The police also encourage the public to strengthen home anti-theft measures, such as installing anti-theft alarms and devices that are easily available on the market. Closed-circuit television system with instant notification function, etc., detects trespassers who enter the premises illegally, so as to detect burglars early.
The police appeal to the public to be vigilant at all times, strengthen awareness of home security and anti-theft, lock doors and windows and beware of thieves, and pay more attention to suspicious activities on the hillsides near their homes.
If any member of the public or domestic helper encounters a suspicious person, they should immediately seek assistance from the police.
