New Mong Kok CCTV cameras expand into Tsim Sha Tsui and Hong Kong Island, solving six “serious cases”, police say
殺入尖沙咀、港島 警指旺角新CCTV 破不誠實使用電腦等六「重案」
The Government earlier launched a scheme to install closed-circuit television cameras at crime black spots. In the first phase, it aims to install 2,000 sets of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras across Hong Kong, with 600 scheduled for installation from mid-year. Journalists from The Collective have found that the new CCTV cameras have expanded beyond Mong Kok into Tsim Sha Tsui and across the harbour to Shau Kei Wan. In response to enquiries from The Collective, police confirmed that installation of other closed-circuit television cameras began progressively in the middle of this month. The CCTV cameras first installed in Mong Kok in April have “successfully solved” six serious criminal cases. These included cases involving possession of an imitation firearm, robbery and bomb hoax offences, as well as accessing a computer with criminal or dishonest intent and theft from a vehicle.
政府早前啟動「於罪案黑點安裝閉路電視計劃」，首階段希望在全港各區安裝 2000 組閉路電視（ CCTV ），年中開始安裝 600 組。《集誌社》記者巡視發現，新 CCTV 已衝出旺角，殺入尖沙咀，並過海「擴展」至筲箕灣。 警方回覆《集誌社》查詢時確認，本月中已陸續開始安裝其他閉路電視。四月率先在旺角安裝的CCTV，已「成功偵破」六宗嚴重刑事案件。當中包括「管有仿製火器」、「行劫」案、「炸彈嚇詐行為」。甚至「有犯罪或不誠實意圖而取用電腦」，還有「車內盜竊」，也難逃天眼監察。
