Police said on Wednesday they had issued 36 fixed-penalty tickets to men who the force says were found to be flouting Covid curbs during a raid by anti-triad officers at a restaurant in Tin Shui Wai.

Officers entered the restaurant in Shan Tung Street on Tuesday night and found that 29 men who were dining together were unable to provide proof of a negative rapid-antigen test; people dining in groups of more than 12 must take a RAT test before eating out.

Police also found that 14 people were seated at one table, breaching an anti-pandemic regulation that limits the number of diners at a table to 12.

Officers also arrested two wanted men, aged 37 and 47. They're suspected of unlawful assembly and careless driving respectively.

Police added that the restaurant would be banned from offering dine-in services during the evening for two weeks, and its manager would be fined.
