Police have closed five villas in Yuen Long offering vice activities.

Officers with court-appointed bailiffs executed the closure orders at about 10am today, on premises in Tung Lok Street, Yuen Long Pau Cheung Square, Yuen Long Hong Lok Road and Hop Yick Road.

They have been consistently involved in vice activities since 2002. Police applied for the closure orders from Tuen Mun Magistracy.

Police said rigorous action will be taken to eradicate vice activity in Yuen Long. Police will apply, whenever possible, for court orders to close such premises and hinder vice activities.
