During the evening, officers set up roadblocks and checked vehicles around Ma Tau Kok Road and 13 Streets, targeting suspected illegal passenger-for-hire activity near the venue. After pickup points in 13 Streets were closed, crowds walked to San Ma Tau Street to board vehicles. Police then sent officers there and blocked the road.
HK01 reported that some vehicles picked people up before officers could stop them. Police also towed a white seven-seater with Guangdong-Hong Kong plates, suspected of illegal modification, for investigation.
Police warned that using a vehicle illegally for hire or passenger-for-reward services could invalidate its third-party insurance. After a crash, that could affect compensation for passengers and other road users.
