Red paint was splashed on the entrance to the home of the CEO of one of Hong Kong’s largest restaurant chains on Wednesday morning, with police investigating whether the vandalism was the result of a monetary dispute.
Workers on Wednesday could be seen cleaning the paint-daubed gate of Fulum Group CEO Yeung Wai’s house, on Yuen Long’s Kam Pok Road.
Police said they first received a report at 6.07am saying around eight men armed with knives were arguing outside the house over a financial matter, though no one was reported injured.
“Officers did not see anyone upon arrival at the scene, but spotted the red paint on the house’s plaque and gate,” a police spokesman said, adding that no one had been arrested.
Police have classified the case as one of criminal damage, with authorities in Yuen Long district investigating the incident.
