新型冠状病毒疫情持续升温,人人为自保而抢购口罩、消毒液等防疫物品,以致出现“口罩荒”等现象。“物以稀为贵”,如今连口罩都成为匪徒掠劫的目标。

香港警察昨日(2月12日)在脸书专页帖文,指一辆停放在上水区新成路路边的轿车被匪徒打爆车窗,偷走了车上的八盒口罩。

警方指出,有关事件发生在2月11日清晨,被盗走的N95口罩共多达160个。

帖文中指出,警方透过闭路电视记录,发现了两名嫌疑男子,并且已展开了“反车内盗窃”行动,在上水彩园邨逮捕了其中一名嫌犯。警方目前正积极追缉另一名嫌犯。

当局指出,目前全城严峻抗疫,口罩需求量更是僧多粥少,因此不排除匪徒偷取口罩企图变卖牟利,因此提醒民众提高警惕保护财务,包括个人防护用品如口罩等,避免让贼徒有机可乘。
