Police raided premises of two Unions in Shaukiwan district
last night.

Premises were those of Taikoo Dock Workers Union and Metal
Workers Union which were previously searched several weeks ago.

During raids a quantity of homemade weapons including daggers and
triangular files and some three hundred and seventy bottles of acid were
seized.

One man was arrested.

In Kowloon two vehicles parked in Ferry Street in Yaumati
district were set on fire shortly before nine o'clock last night.

It is believed that the vehicles belonging to a construction company
were set alight by trouble makers as some red papers with Chinese
characters were found pasted on the vehicles.

There were no (repeat no) casualties.
