Three people have been detained on suspicion of criminal damage after graffiti was spray-painted in various locations across Kowloon, Hong Kong police have said.
Police said on Sunday that a local couple and their friend, a Taiwanese passport holder, had been arrested the previous day in connection with the graffiti.
The arrest of the trio, aged 26 to 40, followed a report on Thursday that a road sign near Prince Edward Road East and Hip Yip Street in Ngau Tau Kok had been defaced with graffiti.
Officers from the force’s Sau Mau Ping division took over the case, reviewing CCTV footage and analysing intelligence to identify the suspects, police said.
During the arrest operation, officers also searched an industrial building unit in Kwun Tong, seizing multiple cans of spray paint and three bicycles believed to be connected to the vandalism, the force said.
