Hong Kong woman guilty of throwing faeces onto air con, damaging security camera 15.07.2026

A Hong Kong woman has been found guilty of criminal damage after throwing faeces onto a neighbour's air conditioner and damaging a security camera in a residential building in Shau Kei Wan. Suen Siu-fong, a 59-year-old housewife, was convicted of both charges at Eastern Court on Wednesday following a trial. The court heard that a security camera had been installed on a 15th-floor corridor of the building on May 31 last year, which was subsequently damaged. The incident involved the splashing of excrement onto the neighbour's air conditioner, leading to charges of criminal damage by throwing offensive matter onto private property. The case highlights ongoing disputes in Hong Kong's densely populated residential areas, where such acts can escalate quickly. The court's decision underscores the legal consequences for vandalism and public nuisance, with Suen now facing potential sentencing. The exact motive behind the act was not detailed in the court proceedings, but the conviction serves as a deterrent against similar behaviour. The case has drawn attention to the importance of maintaining community harmony and respecting private property in shared living spaces.
