暴力罪案方面,二○一九年上半年共錄得3 970宗,較去年同期下跌9%。 1. 下跌的主要罪案 --------------------- 今年上半年錄得跌幅的罪案類別包括兇殺、行劫、爆竊、嚴重毒品罪行、傷人及嚴重毆打、刑事恐嚇等。 錄得下跌的罪案當中,兇殺案共11宗,較二○一八年同期減少6宗,下跌35.3%。案件由情侶、親屬、朋友和院舍院友等的糾紛引起,所有案件已被偵破。 行劫案共44宗,較去年同期大幅減少38宗,下跌46.3 %。當中街頭及便利店劫案共減少31宗,下跌63.3%。警方會繼續加強情報及調查工作,包括與內地及海外執法機構的協作,以防止及偵破案件,打擊相關的犯罪集團。 嚴重毒品罪行共586宗,較二○一八年同期減少146宗,下跌19.9%。檢獲數量方面,上升的毒品包括可卡因、氯胺酮、大麻及海洛英,而冰毒的檢獲量則有所下跌。檢獲毒品數量上升,與警方及海關進行多個成功的打擊行動有關。近年,個別海外國家和地區將藥用或休閒類大麻合法化。而在本港,管有、吸食或販運大麻或含有受管制大麻成份的產品均屬違法。正值暑假,市民到外地旅遊時,要注意當地有關法例,小心留意產品是否有大麻成份,避免携帶返港而誤墮法網。 2. 上升的主要罪案 --------------------- 二○一九年上半年主要的上升罪案類別包括詐騙及性罪行。 詐騙案共3 855宗,較二○一八年同期增加184宗,上升5%。升幅主要來自電話騙案及網上購物騙案。 2.1 電話騙案 ---------------- 電話騙案共231宗,增加66宗,上升40%,主要涉及「假冒官員」(108宗,上升83.1%)及「猜猜我是誰」(122宗,上升22%)兩種手法;而「虛構綁架」則只錄得1宗案件,下跌83.3%。電話騙案損失金額共5千3百萬,上升4倍,當中近9成損失來自「假冒官員」案件,損失金額共4千6百萬,升幅達9倍。 騙徒除了指示受害人將資金匯到指定的銀行戶口外,亦會以不同藉口誘騙受害人開立新銀行戶口,然後要求受害人提供戶口資料及理財密碼等,目的均是直接操控受害人銀行戶口。受害人因而失去戶口內所有存款,亦令致此類案件的總損失金額飆升。 此外,警方留意到電話騙案受害人有年輕化趨勢,30歲以下受害人數字較去年同期上升約4成,當中絕大部分是被「假冒官員」手法所騙。 有見及此,警方會透過不同平台加強宣傳教育工作,包括電台、電視台,以及警隊多個社交媒體,例如警隊Facebook、YouTube、Instagram、微博等,發放騙案的最新手法。 2.2 網上購物騙案 --------------------- 網上購物騙案共1 084宗,增加135宗,上升14.2%,涉及損失共1千3百萬,下跌27.3%。 為提高市民警覺,警方加強與網上交易平台及流動應用程式的合作,在有關平台發放防騙訊息,提醒市民進行網上交易時要小心謹慎。 截至今年6月底,已成立兩年的警方「反詐騙協調中心」與銀行業界合作成功攔截超過27億元騙款。今年更首次與海外執法機構合作,成功阻止一筆2千1百萬元騙款匯往一間海外銀行。 2.3 性罪行 ---------------- 二○一九年上半年性罪行,包括強姦及非禮案,均錄得上升。強姦案有29宗,較去年同期增加6宗,上升26.1%。涉及陌生人的案件有1宗, 已被偵破。非禮案方面則有573宗,增加36宗,上升6.7%。 受害人在網上認識疑犯後被性侵犯(強姦及非禮)的案件有16宗,與去年同期相同。 為防止性罪行,警方會在網絡、學校及青少年團體活動中加強宣傳教育,尤其是網上交友的陷阱。 3. 三合會、家庭暴力及青少年的罪案情況 --------------------------------------------- 其他較受社會關注的罪案包括三合會、家庭暴力及青少年罪案。 二○一九年上半年共錄得777宗與三合會有關的罪案,較去年同期下跌6.9%。期內,警方進行了多個大型反三合會行動,包括於4月進行全港性的「犁庭掃穴」行動,超過500人被捕,涉及罪名包括販毒、洗黑錢、高利貸、經營賭博場所、藏有攻擊性武器等。另外,針對三合會份子利用持牌遊戲機中心作非法賭博活動,警方進行代號「博勇」的打擊行動,共拘捕135人,檢獲150多部賭博用的遊戲機。 警隊絕不容忍及姑息與三合會有關的罪行,會繼續嚴厲打擊三合會活動,包括採取情報主導的大型反罪惡行動、卧底行動和進行財富調查,堵截三合會的收入來源。 二○一九年上半年,家庭暴力刑事案件共633宗,下跌9.3%,家庭暴力雜項案件共294宗,上升52.3%。親屬間的暴力刑事案件共398宗,下跌17.6%。 二○一九年上半年,因干犯刑事罪行而被捕的青少年共1 234人,較去年同期下跌17.7%。主要干犯罪行包括店舖盜竊、傷人及嚴重毆打,與及雜項盜竊。 4. 總結 科技罪行仍然是警隊打擊重點之一。互聯網及社交媒體已成為市民日常生活的一部份,例如網上交易、交友等,騙徒因而利用網上媒介接觸受害人。警方會繼續透過不同平台,包括傳媒、警隊社交媒體、「反詐騙協調中心」等,將騙徒的最新犯案手法發放給市民,以提高警覺。警隊亦會不斷提升偵查科技罪行的能力及增強調查人員的培訓。 警隊會繼續盡忠職守,以不偏不倚的態度執法,維護法紀。 完 2019年7月26日(星期五) 香港時間11時49分 In the first half of 2019, a total of 25 295 crime cases were recorded, representing a decrease of 1 255 cases or 4.7% when compared with the same period of last year. The overall crime figures hit a record low since 1977 in which half-year crime statistics were first kept. There were 3 970 cases of violent crime in the first half of 2019, a decrease of 9% when compared with the same period of last year. 1. Major crimes recorded decreases In the first half of this year, crimes recorded decreases included homicide, robbery, burglary, serious drug offences, wounding and serious assault, and criminal intimidation, etc. There were 11 cases of homicide, representing a decrease of 6 cases or 35.3% when compared with the same period in 2018. These cases arose from disputes between couples, family members, friends, residents in residential care homes, etc. All cases were detected. There were 44 cases of robbery reported, representing a significant drop of 38 cases or 46.3% when compared with the same period of last year. The number of street and convenience store robberies decreased by 31 cases or 63.3%. Police will continue to strengthen the work on intelligence and investigation, including collaboration with the Mainland and overseas law enforcement agencies, to prevent and detect robberies so as to neutralize related crime syndicates. A total of 586 serious drug cases were recorded, representing a drop of 146 cases or 19.9% when compared with the same period in 2018. The seizure amount of cocaine, ketamine, cannabis and heroin increased while the amount of methamphetamine (Ice) seized dropped. The increase in the seizure amount was attributed to multiple successful operations conducted by the Police and the Customs and Excise Department respectively. In recent years, some overseas countries and regions legalized the use of cannabis for medical or recreational purpose. Nonetheless, possessing, consuming or trafficking cannabis or products containing controlled cannabis compounds constitutes a criminal offence in Hong Kong. Members of the public should pay attention to relevant local legislation while traveling abroad during summer vacation, and be mindful of products containing cannabis compounds so as to avoid contravening the law inadvertently by bringing them back to Hong Kong. 2. Major crimes recorded increases In the first half of 2019, crimes that registered increases included deception and sexual offence. A total of 3 855 cases of deception were recorded, representing a rise of 184 cases or 5% when compared with the same period in 2018. Such increase mainly stemmed from telephone deception and e-shopping fraud. 2.1 Telephone deception Telephone Deception totalled 231 cases, representing a rise of 66 cases or 40%. The two common modus operandi were “Pretend Officials” (108 cases, increase of 83.1%) and “Guess Who” (122 cases, increase of 22%). There was only 1 case of “Detained Son” recorded (decrease of 83.3%). The pecuniary loss involved in telephone deception totalled $53 million, being a 4-fold increase. Near 90% of the loss was attributed to “Pretend Officials” cases, pecuniary loss of which totalled $46 million, reaching a 9-fold increase. Other than instructing the victims to make deposit to designated bank accounts, fraudsters also lured the victims to set up new bank accounts, and subsequently asked them to disclose the banking details and passwords on various pretexts in order to have direct control over victims’ bank accounts. This often siphoned off all savings of the victims in the account causing the significant increase in total monetary loss. Telephone deception became more prevalent among the young people. Victims aged below 30 increased by around 40% over the same period of last year. Majority of them were victims of “Pretend Officials”. In light of this, Police will continue to alert the public of the latest modus operandi through different channels and social media, including the Hong Kong Police Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Weibo, etc. 2.2 E-shopping fraud A total of 1 084 cases of e-shopping fraud were reported, representing a rise of 135 cases or 14.2%. The total loss was $13 million, representing a drop of 27.3%. To raise the awareness of the public, Police has strengthened collaboration with online trading platforms and mobile apps to disseminate anti-deception messages to remind the public to remain vigilant when trading online. By the end of June this year, the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre (ADCC), which has been established for two years, has successfully intercepted over $2.7 billion of payment in collaboration with the banking sector. This year, Police managed to intercept a remittance of $21 million to an overseas bank, in cooperation with overseas law enforcement agency for the first time. 2.3 Sexual offence In the first half of 2019, an increase was recorded for sexual offence, including rape and indecent assault. There were 29 rape cases, representing an increase of 6 cases or 26.1% when compared with the same period of last year. One case was committed by stranger and has been detected. For indecent assault, 573 cases were recorded, representing an increase of 36 cases or 6.7%. Cases in which the victims acquainted with the offenders via the Internet totalled 16 cases, which was the same as last year. To prevent sexual offences, Police will enhance publicity and education, particularly on social networking traps, on the Internet, at schools and during activities of youth organizations. 3. Triads, domestic violence and youth crimes Other cases of public concern include triad, domestic violence and youth crimes. In the first half of 2019, triad-related crimes totalled 777 cases, representing a drop of 6.9% when compared with the same period of last year. During the period, the Force mounted a series of large-scale anti-triad operations, including the territory-wide “Operation LEVINGTON” in April. Over 500 persons were arrested for drug trafficking, money laundering, loansharking, operating gambling establishment, possession of offensive weapon, etc. In addition, to combat triad-controlled illegal gambling activities in licensed game centres, Police mounted “Operation WISEBOLD” with 135 persons arrested and seizure of more than 150 game machines used for gambling. Police will show no tolerance or leniency towards triad-related crimes, and will continue to proactively combat all triad activities, including conducting large-scale intelligence-led anti-crime operations, undercover operations, as well as conducting financial investigation to intercept crime proceeds of the syndicates. There were 633 domestic violence (crime) cases in the first half in 2019, representing a decrease of 9.3%. A total of 294 cases of domestic violence (miscellaneous) were received, representing a rise of 52.3%. Family violence (crime) totalled 398 cases, representing a drop of 17.6%. A total of 1 234 youths were arrested for crimes in the first half of 2019, representing a drop of 17.7% when compared with the same period of last year. Most of them were arrested for shop theft, wounding and serious assault, and miscellaneous theft. 4. Conclusion Combating technology crime continues to be one of the Force’s operational priorities. The Internet and social media have become part of citizens’ daily life, such as for online trading and making friends. More fraudsters take advantage of online channels to prey on potential victims. To raise the vigilance of the public, Police will alert citizens of the latest pitfalls through different platforms, including the media, social media of the Hong Kong Police Force, ADCC, etc. Police will also enhance the overall capabilities in detecting technology crime and further equip investigating officers with professional knowledge via trainings. Police will continue to carry out duties with utmost dedication, serve faithfully and impartially, and maintain the law and order in our best endeavors. Ends/Friday, July 26, 2019 Issued at HKT 11:53
