An Australian was caught shoplifting two packs of condoms, worth of about HK$70, at a convenience store in Electric Road, Tin Hau, at about 4am. The 28-year-old ran out of the shop after being caught. The storekeeper shouted for help and several pedestrians chased the man for about 100 metres before stopping him at the junction of Ngan Mok Street and King's Road. Police arrived soon afterwards and arrested him.
Secretary for Food and Health Dr Ko Wing-man said the government would not copy a measure introduced by the Macau administration to help residents buy formula milk for their babies. Under the scheme they can apply for a card that guarantees delivery of up to five tins of formula a month. Ko said factors including market size meant the scheme would not be introduced in Hong Kong.
