WDIST tackles estate crimes
Shek Pai Wan Estate has many elderly residents who are more vulnerable to quick cash crimes. Western District (WDIST), therefore, is launching crime prevention publicity programmes at the estate with a view to forging a close partnership with the residents in tackling such crimes with education, publicity, and intelligence and stepped up patrols.
On October 5, WDIST Commander Lam Hiu-tong, Aberdeen Divisional Commander Eugene Wright and officers of WDIST Police Community Relations Office distributed anti-deception and anti-burglary leaflets at Shek Pai Wan Estate, with the support of a member of the Southern District Council, Mr Chu Lap-wai, and the estate's mutual aid committees. This initiative succeeded in making the elderly residents more aware of the importance of staying alert to crimes.
