The police arrested a 50-year-old man yesterday for graffitiing on the outer wall of Sai Kung Police Station and a lamppost on Fuk Man Road, during which he wrote “721” and insulted the National Security Law.
The police said that on 6 November 2020 and 8 January this year, someone was found writing “721” on the outer wall of the Sai Kung Police Station. The police described it as “a serious situation.” After an investigation was launched, a 50-year-old man was arrested.
The police and the Sai Kung Village Patrol team laid an ambush along Fuk Man Road in Sai Kung on the night of 8 January. At about 10:00 pm, the culprit was spotted pushing a red bicycle, so he was kept under surveillance. He was observed writing on two lampposts near the police station and writing the words “國安法收皮” (National Security Law) in black oil-based pen. The police officers immediately apprehended him, together with his backpack, tools and bicycle.
The police allege that the local man was arrested on suspicion of “criminal damage” and is currently being detained pending further enquiries. The police said they would investigate whether the man has been involved in similar cases elsewhere, including writing “721” on the police station wall.
The police remind members of the public that criminal damage is a serious crime. Once convicted, the maximum penalty is 10 years’ imprisonment.
