Two Men Arrested for Stealing and Damaging 'Patriots Only' Election Posters
Hong Kong police have detained two men suspected of stealing and damaging posters promoting the upcoming "patriots-only" Legislative Council election scheduled for December 7. The arrests followed reports of missing posters and police investigations.
Details of the Incident
A 45-year-old man was arrested for alleged theft and criminal damage after police received a tip-off on Wednesday morning about nine missing posters outside a building in To Kwa Wan. Surveillance footage helped identify the suspect, who was apprehended near the location later that day.
