The Hong Kong police Thursday said they had arrested 14 people suspected of unlawful assembly.

On Thursday afternoon, some protestors unlawfully gathered at YOHO Mall in Yuen Long of the New Territories, creating nuisances to shoppers and resulting in closures of shops, and the police therefore entered the mall for enforcement and dispersal action, the police said in a press release.

As at 8:30 p.m local time, nine males and five females aged between 14 and 55 were arrested for unlawful assembly.

The police said that they do not condone any illegal act and will take resolute action to enforce the law.
