Nine of those arrested were women, 5 of them foreign passport holders

Two Filipinas – one of them with a Hong Kong ID card, and the other, a Philippine passport – were among 11 people arrested last night in Kowloon City in raids jointly conducted by the police and the Labour and Immigration Departments.

Also arrested were three Indonesian women, all HKID card holders, in the raids at various locations in the district, including prostitution houses.

The six others were made up of two men and three women from the mainland, and one local woman.

All 11 people arrested, said to be 27 and 50 years old, are still being held for questioning, said a police spokeswoman. Some have been referred to relevant departments for follow-up.

The spokeswoman said she did not have an information on whether charges would be laid against the suspects.

A press release from the Hong Kong Police said those arrested were being held on various charges, from overstaying, failure to carry identity documents, breach of conditions of stay, management of a vice establishment and assisting in running such an establishment.

Press for details

“Some of them are wanted persons,” said the press statement, which did not give specifics.

The spokeswoman said they did not have a breakdown of who was being charged with which offences, and could not say whether any of the women had been caught working n the vice establishments.

The police statement warned that under the Immigration Ordinance, anyone who violates the conditions of their stay in Hong Kong face the maximum penalty of $50,000 fine and imprisonment for up to two years.

The same penalty is prescribed for those who take up employment in violation of their visa conditions.

Those who aid and abet the crimes are also liable to prosecution.
