Hong Kong police seize 5 guns, uncover 14 explosive-related cases since 2019
HONG KONG - The Hong Kong police said on Wednesday that they have seized five guns and uncovered 14 cases related to explosives since the social unrest last year.
Chou Wong-chung, superintendent of the Narcotics Bureau, said the police first seized a real gun in an arrest of a violent and extreme gang in December last year, and up to now the police have seized five real guns, mechanical gadgets and over 1,000 bullets, and destroyed self-made devices to make bullets and labs to make explosives. These cases have been proved to have connection with violent extremists and radical groups.
Chou said the police on Tuesday arrested a family aged between 38 and 65, involving two men and a woman, on suspicion of possession of arms and ammunition without a license and possession of offensive weapon.
Chou said the police seized a real gun, 390 live bullets and some mechanical gadgets when searching the suspects' house in Yuen Long.
