More than 80 police officers were sent to Tai Tam country park at the weekend to encourage hikers to take extra safety measures after a number of robberies recently.
During a two-day operation that ended last night, officers from the Aberdeen division and the Police Tactical Unit handed out pamphlets on safety designed to help deter crime in remote areas.
On Saturday, two men robbed a married couple at knifepoint in Lion Rock country park.
The couple were forced to hand over $3,000, a mobile phone and other valuables.
A week ago, two hikers were stranded in the wilderness for 12 hours and their ordeal ended only after the male victim's mother called her son's mobile phone.
A robber told her he had tied her son and his wife to trees in Tai Tam country park.
