The judgment states that on the evening of 1 May 2020 at the junction of Nathan Road and Boundary Street in Mong Kok, the defendant, together with three accomplices clad in black, first scattered unknown items, then ignited and threw petrol bombs causing an explosion. Police officers then gave chase, and several exhibits were recovered from the defendant’s person and rucksack, including glass bottles containing naphtha, empty bottles, plastic tubing fitted with nails, lighters and safe-house keys. Following a plea agreement, the defendant admitted three charges of attempted arson, attempted criminal damage and possession of articles with intent to destroy or damage property.
Under section 109A of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance, the rehabilitation needs of a defendant under 21 must be considered, and a training centre disposal may be applied; the offences of arson and criminal damage in this case are not exceptions under Schedule 3 and must be subject to the restrictions of that section.
The defendant planned the petrol-bomb attacks and was equipped with destructive devices, conduct which seriously endangered public order, although there were no casualties or significant property damage; the defendant is young, has no prior convictions, has shown a good attitude in pleading guilty, and has received mitigation and a training centre report in support of rehabilitation.
It is my view that the defendant was influenced by undesirable peers and the prevailing social atmosphere and lacked rational guidance. Although he was involved in planning and being equipped, he still has the potential for rehabilitation, and receiving professional training is more in line with his needs for reform.
The court accepted the training centre report and the various pleas in mitigation, and, pursuant to section 109A, ordered that the defendant be sent to a training centre for instruction. (Translated from Chinese to English by AI)
