The judgment states that on the late night of 1 May 2020, the defendant and three companions, wearing black clothing, took petrol bombs and spiked tubing from a so-called safe house on Tai Po Road, and repeatedly threw petrol bombs onto the roadway at the junction of Boundary Street and Nathan Road in Mong Kok to cause explosions, intending also to scatter spiked devices to puncture tyres. Officers who witnessed the acts pursued and subdued the defendant at the scene, seizing petrol bombs, fragments of glass bottles, tubing and other evidence. The defendant admitted to three counts of attempted arson, attempted criminal damage and possession of articles intended to destroy property, but remained silent when giving a further statement.
According to section 109A of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance, juvenile offenders under 21 who are not charged with offences listed in Schedule 3 should be considered for placement in a training centre as a priority.
In consideration of the defendant’s youth, lack of prior convictions, first-time offence, absence of casualties or property damage, expression of remorse and multiple letters of plea for leniency, but noting the premeditated and dangerous nature of the acts and their impact on public order.
The judge considers that the defendant was influenced by the social atmosphere and bad peers, lacked independent judgement and was fortunate that there were no casualties; in view of the need for reform and rehabilitation, the recommendations of the training centre’s report were accepted.
Having been convicted on all three counts, the court deferred sentencing under section 109A, accepted the recommendation and ordered that the defendant be sent to a training centre for reformation. (Translated from Chinese to English by AI)
