Robber On Head With His Own Gun

Yesterday was Passing-out Day at the Police Training School, and in the morning the Commissioner of Police (Col. C.H. Sansom), accompanied by Caph T.O. Tso. visited the school and inspected the men who had completed their course.

A highlight of the event was the presentation by the Police Commissioner of an inscribed wrist watch to Mr. Lo Ping-wan for his public spirited action last month in apprehending a gang of armed robbers.
