The Housing Department is using five additional special teams and 10 extra mobile digital closed-circuit television system sets to crack down on people throwing objects from heights.
The department today held a seminar and kick-off ceremony for about 400 estate management advisory committees members to disseminate and reinforce the message that people should not throw objects or allow them to fall from a height.
It has sent five more special operation teams to help estate management staff to follow up and investigate fallen-object incidents. It also spent $2 million to install 10 extra closed-circuit television system sets, bringing the total to 116 sets, to enhance surveillance.
Estate staff will step up on-site patrols and inspections to remind tenants to remove dangling objects outside balconies or near windows, to prevent them from falling.
