Description
The police on Friday said they arrested a man on suspicion of possessing firearms without a licence. Officers found 18 guns, 11 knives, and four daggers at a self-storage facility in Sha Tin, and arrested the 67-year-old suspect on Wednesday. Speaking at a press briefing, Superintendent Cheung Ting-fung said the man had previously held licences for various types of guns, but these were revoked in 2008. Cheung also said it is suspected that all the firearms found at the storage facility this week were obtained illegally from overseas. He added the case was not related to the social unrest in 2019. "Currently, we do not have any evidence showing that the arrested person is connected to any previous riot or violent cases. We tend to believe that this arrested person is just a firearms fanatic." The case will be heard at the Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on Friday afternoon.
