The South China Morning Post reported two distinct allegations against seven boys aged 14 to 17 in Tseung Kwan O: failing to show a front white light and rear red light in darkness or low visibility, and cycling on a pavement without an obvious need. The light allegation is tied to visibility conditions; the pavement allegation has a separate qualification about whether there was an obvious need to ride there.

Police in the district said officers had recently issued the boys summonses during an enforcement operation and that they faced prosecution. The South China Morning Post’s account does not report a court outcome or finding of guilt. Police said the district would continue enforcement aimed at illegal behaviour and road safety, and urged residents to follow traffic rules.
