男子因扰乱供水和骚扰居民被捕


在葵涌的安蔭邨發生了一連串不幸事件,一名男子因涉嫌干擾和騷擾居民,包括小便、塗糞和破壞供水設施而被捕。據稱,這些行為是對少數族裔居民的噪音投訴作出的回應。這些事件給受影響的居民帶來了顯著的困擾和煩惱。


葵涌警區於4月24日接獲報告,稱安蔭邨多棟樓宇的水錶鎖被盜和故意破壞,從而嚴重影響了眾多居民的供水。此外,附近居民報告稱在排球場進行活動時,有液體物質從較高位置擲向他們。警方懷疑這些不同的破壞行為之間存在聯繫。


考慮到對居民福祉的不良影響,葵涌警區特別工作組迅速接手調查工作。警方通過情報搜集和詳盡的調查,將注意力集中在一名疑似居住在該邨的男子身上。警方在附近設置了監視,成功在昨晚在安蔭邨的康蔭樓內逮捕了一名23歲的失業男子。該男子現面臨“刑事損壞”、“盜竊”和“高處拋物”等指控。
