A 32-year-old Hong Kong police officer has been charged with two counts of fraud over allegations that he used false documents and information to obtain approximately HK$4.2 million in mortgage loans. The allegations have not been adjudicated.
The alleged conduct took place in 2021 and involved information and documents provided to a local bank in connection with the mortgage loans. The supplied reports do not specify which documents were allegedly false, or how the loan amount was divided between the two charges.
The officer was attached to the Kwai Tsing district and has been suspended from duty, according to the reports. His name was not provided.
He was arrested on August 18, 2026, by officers from the crime unit of the New Territories South Regional Headquarters, the reports said. He was subsequently charged with two counts of fraud.
The case was scheduled to be heard at Sha Tin Magistrates’ Courts on the morning of August 25, 2026. The supplied reports do not state the officer’s plea or give any response from him or his legal representative.
Police said the force takes officers’ conduct seriously and will not tolerate or condone unlawful behaviour. It said such matters would be handled firmly.
