Robberies in elevators
Following is a question by the Hon Zachary Wong Wai-yin and a written reply by the Secretary for Security, Mr Peter Lai, in the Legislative Council today (Wednesday):
Question:
Following several incidents in which robbers appeared from elevator shafts in Tuen Mun in 1993, there were indications that this type of robberies had become active in Sha Tin last year. Will the Government inform this Council:-
(a)
of the number of such cases which had occurred in the territory in the
past two years;
(b)
(c)
what measures the authorities concerned have adopted to prevent such cases from occurring; whether the recurrence of similar cases indicates that the measures taken have been ineffective; and
how the recurrence of such cases can be prevented in the future, so as to safeguard the life and property of the public?
