The Kwun Tong, Tuen Mun, Shatin and North DFCCS were concerned about youngsters and students involved in shoplifting and snatching offences. The Police were closely monitoring such crime and more police officers were deployed to patrol the blackspots. The North District would launch a special campaign to counter this problem and posters on juvenile crime would be produced and circulated to schools.
