Police today (March 2) appealed for information on a man missing in Tsing Yi.

Ho Ka-kwong, 64, left his home at Cheung Wang Estate on February 27 and failed to return. His son made a report to the police on the same day.

He is about 1.75 metres tall, 41 kilograms in weight and of thin build. He has a pointed face, with short white hair and a yellow complexion. He was last seen wearing a white jacket, blue jeans and dark brown hiking shoes. He was carrying an orange plastic bag.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the missing man or who may have seen him is urged to contact the Regional Missing Person Unit of New Territories South on 3661 1172-6 or any police station.

In view of the growing popularity of Internet auctions and increase in Internet commercial fraud cases, officers of Technology Crime Division, Commercial Crime Bureau (TCD CCB) and Regional Crime Unit of New Territories North (RCU NTN) conducted intelligence-led operations to combat such crimes and arrested five men and seven women in various locations throughout the New Territories and Kowloon yesterday (March 2) and today (March 3).

Officers of TCD CCB yesterday (March 2) arrested a 16-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman in the New Territories. They were suspected to be in connection with twelve Internet shopping fraud cases involving eleven victims and an amount of over $22,000. They were arrested for obtaining properties by deception and money laundering. They have been released on police bail and are required to report back to Police in mid-April.

Officers of RCU NTN also conducted an operation this morning (March 3) and arrested four men and six women, aged between 14 and 54, in various locations throughout the New Territories and Kowloon for obtaining properties by deception. They were in suspected connection with 20 fraudulent online auction cases that involved 23 victims and an amount of about $70,000. All the arrested persons have been released on police bail and are required to report back in late March.

During operations, officers also seized some computers, mobile phones and bank statements for further investigation. The operations are still going on.

Police investigation revealed that the commonest trick used by the swindlers is that they fraudulently put merchandise on sale through on-line advertisements or Internet auction sites and supply an email address and a telephone number to the buyers for transactions. The swindlers fail to deliver goods to the victims after receiving the payment from buyers.

Police remind the public to stay vigilant when using e-shopping. They should confirm the identity of the traders before making any transaction. It is also advisable to use platforms with identity verification system for e-shopping or to arrange face-to-face transactions.

Anyone who is convicted of \"Obtaining property by deception\" (section 17 of Cap 210, Theft Ordinance) is liable to a maximum penalty of imprisonment of ten years. Anyone who lends his or her bank account to others may contravene section 25 of Cap 455, \"Dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable offence\" under Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance and may be liable to a maximum penalty of a fine of $5 million and 14 years\' imprisonment.

　　警方昨晚（三月六日）於中區的一項行動中拘捕一百一十三名男女涉嫌非法集結。

　　昨日下午有部份參與港島區示威遊行的人士，沒有理會警方指示，在皇后大道中西行線非法集結，堵塞交通。其後，該批示威人士更轉移到德輔道中及雪廠街的十字路口，故意堵塞整個路口東西及南往北行的行車線。警方多次發出警告，說明在場人士正參與一個「非法集會」，勸喻他們立即離開。

　　由於非法集結在德輔道中的遊行人士除了採取不合作的態度，更衝擊在場維持秩序的警務人員。為恢復中區的交通及秩序，警方在別無選擇之下，決定採取果斷的行動，依法拘捕示威者。行動中，警方使用了最低的武力。

　　行動期間警方共拘捕了一百一十三人涉嫌非法集結，包括八十九名男子及二十四名女子，案件由港島總區重案組跟進。

　　警方尊重公眾人士表達意見，言論及集會的自由。示威人士表達訴求時，亦必須遵守香港法律和社會秩序。

　　警方處理公眾活動的基本原則，是要確保活動在有秩序及安全的情況下進行，並會盡力便利市民進行和平的示威活動，但絕不會容忍任何暴力行為。若社會安寧及秩序受到破壞，警方有必要採取果斷行動，恢復社會秩序和安全。

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Tsang Wai-hung, today (March 12) inspected a passing-out parade of probationary inspectors and recruit police constables at the Hong Kong Police College as the reviewing officer.

In delivering his speech, Mr Tsang said that police officers all shared a vision - Hong Kong remained one of the safest and most stable societies in the world.

He noted that the favourable law and order situation in Hong Kong was a testament to the efforts of the Force - in particular to police officers on the frontline.

“Tomorrow, you will take up your first and the most vital role that you can have in your careers in the Force. As an officer in a Patrol Sub-unit, you will be at the ‘sharp end’ of frontline policing in Hong Kong.

“Every day, when you patrol your beat, you might be called upon to handle a vast array of incidents - to provide a fast and effective response to emergencies, to prevent and detect crimes, to maintain social order and to mediate disputes,” he said.

He noted that graduates would be required to think and act under extreme pressure - the kind of pressure that many people could never appreciate - and expected to remain calm, collected and respectful, when others around them had lost control.

Meanwhile, Mr Tsang told graduates that their role as a police officer was not merely to respond to incidents.

“We are there to serve the community, to reach out and find out about concerns, feelings and ideas, and where practical, to share those concerns and work in partnership with the community to address them.

“As a Patrol Sub-unit officer, you have daily interaction with the people on the streets. You must engage the communities and bridge the gap of understanding between Police and members of the public. You must care about our people, and you must show that you care about our people,” he noted.

He encouraged graduates to continue to live and work by Force Values, whether or not they were on duty.

“Force Values are the cornerstone for all of our actions, our decisions, and our behaviour. Whenever in doubt as to the course you should take, then consider our values - Force Values - and you will be guided to the correct path.

“When you live by Force Values, when you rise to the challenge everyday, when you engage with the community, and when you serve them well, you will become a trusted and respected leader in the community,” Mr Tsang said.

A total of 31 probationary inspectors and 205 recruit constables passed out today.
