A photo of a man in black who appeared to be climbing into the window of a Chai Wan flat went viral on Facebook. The man was standing on the windowsill of an opened window on the second floor of Block 1 of Neptune Terrace, Chai Wan around 7pm on Saturday, when a passerby saw the scene, took a photo of it and reported it to police. The suspected burglar had left the scene when officers arrived, but police found the that windows of the flat had been damaged, suggesting the man had attempted to break into the flat. The post drew heated discussion on Facebook, with one netizen suggesting that the light should have been shone on the man. Others joked the man was probably not a burglar but a paramour of the female owner of the flat, and he had to hide outside the window because the husband had returned home.
