Summary
Police and the Immigration Department carried out a three-week anti-vice operation in Tsuen Wan, resulting in 58 arrests. The operation covered suspected vice premises and an unlicensed massage parlour, and officers also seized cash believed to be crime proceeds, vice-related evidence and about 4,500 pornographic discs worth around HK$90,000 from a shop in the district
Key Points
- The operation ran from July 27 to August 17 in Tsuen Wan, with police describing it as an anti-vice crackdown conducted with the Immigration Department.
- A total of 58 people were arrested, comprising three local men, 13 local women and 42 mainland Chinese women aged between 28 and 66.
- Arrests were made on suspicion of managing vice establishments, operating an unlicensed massage parlour and breaching conditions of stay
- Police said one man and two women were suspected of operating and managing vice premises in the district
- Officers also arrested a local man registered as the business operator of three vice premises, alleging he directed and controlled multiple women to provide illegal sexual services; he was released on bail pending further inquiries
Why It Matters
The case points to coordinated enforcement against suspected commercial vice activity in Tsuen Wan, involving both criminal and immigration-related offences. With 44 of those arrested already charged and the rest released on bail, the operation is likely to lead to further court proceedings and follow-up investigation in the district
