260745 Attention Glover Sitrep.

Between seven fifteen Monday, afternoon and six o'clock this Tuesday morning the police arrived [sic] four premises in urban

one Kowloon and three on Hong Kong Island. Some documents were seized from one of four premises but nothing suspicious was found in others. No arrest was made in all searches but two men from one premises on Island accompanied police back to the police station at the conclusion of the search. In one of the searches on Island one police constable and a passerby in street were slightly injured when another police constable accidentally discharged his Greenger gun. Both injured persons were admitted to hospital.

In New Territories a man on police wanted list in connection with disturbances staged in Sha Tau Kok on June twentyfour was arrested yesterday evening during a surprise operation carried out in border town. The man was expected to appear in Court later today.

China sent yesterday more live stocks to Hong Kong by rail

Apart from two real home made bombs found on Hong Kong Island early yesterday morning a total of thirtytwo reports of suspected bombs were received by the police during the remainder of the day eleven on the Island, sixteen in Kowloon and five on or near outlying Islands. All objects turned out to be fakes.
