A 13-year-old boy has been sent to a juvenile detention center over a string of vandalism incidents at chain store Best Mart 360.
The boy, who is Indian, was early found guilty of three counts of criminal damage. He was handed the verdict at the Tuen Mun Magistrates’ Courts Friday morning.
According to Apple Daily, the 13-year-old damaged store items at two Best Mart 360 outlets in Tin Shui Wai on three days in February.
The first two counts relate to vandalism at the outlet in Fortune Kingswood, a shopping mall, on Feb. 1 and 2, involving the tampering of bags of snacks, cookie tins and wine bottles.
