HONG KONG: Chinese automaker BYD Co Ltd has restarted operations at two showrooms and a service centre in Hong Kong after they were vandalised earlier this week.
BYD’s sole Hong Kong agent, JC Motor Ltd, said in a notice on its website yesterday that restoration work on another showroom in the outlying district of Yuen Long in the New Territories was expected to be completed by the end of the week.
“The incidents have been reported to the police and we will cooperate with the investigation and will await the conclusion from the police,” JC Motor said.
Its showrooms in the districts of Wan Chai on Hong Kong island and Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, as well as its service centre in Tin Shui Wai in the New Territories, have resumed normal operations, it added.
JC Motor did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment on the cause and impact of the vandalism.
Two BYD showrooms and a service centre in Hong Kong were daubed with red paint, while a car also rammed into the roller shutter at its Yuen Long showroom in the early hours of Monday, causing damage, police told Reuters.
The incident was still under investigation, they added.
BYD Co is a publicly listed Chinese conglomerate manufacturing company with its headquarters in Shenzhen, Guangdong. — Reuters
