The Hong Kong police on Wednesday detained three local males and one female for illegally forcing into the headquarters of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Garrison in the island city last Thursday afternoon.

Billy Chiu Hin-chung, 28 and Dickson Cheung Hon-yin, 40 were among several local residents who forced their way into the PLA Garrison headquarters at Hong Kong Central, defying the warning of the guard on duty. One was arrested by theCentral District crime squad yesterday and the other was picked up in Cheung Chau.

Two other people including a 29-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy, were arrested during yesterday's Civil Human Rights Front pro-democracy march.

The police said the four people 's action violated the Public Order Ordinance of Hong Kong which prohibits entry into the PLA Garrison 's barracks without permission.
