Police in Hong Kong planned to step up a crackdown on juvenile crime after the force’s chief on Aug 31 said a pandemic jump in social media use was a major factor in an increase in the number of young people arrested for various offences.
Commissioner of Police Raymond Siu Chak-yee said the force would highlight five areas – online job fraud, illegal debt collection, serious drugs offences, online dating traps and nude chat blackmail.
