Hong Kong police arrest two tourists after they allegedly break into an MTR Corporation depot in Chai Wan and spray-paint graffiti on parked train carriages. Police say they receive a report at about 2pm on Wednesday that the exterior of two carriage units has been vandalised. Officers later identify and arrest two men at Hong Kong International Airport while they are waiting to board flights leaving the city.
Police describe the alleged entry as involving cutting barbed wire to get into the depot. After the report, officers investigate the incident at the Chai Wan facility, and the arrests occur several hours later. Both outlets report the same location (the Chai Wan depot), the same general allegation (forced entry and graffiti on two carriages), and the same outcome (custody at the airport). The reporting focuses on the timing of the airport arrests and the police account of how access to the depot was gained, with details of the graffiti being described only generally across sources.
