Hong Kong
police on Monday accused activists in the long-running pro-democracy movement of inciting minors to commit crimes.

Chief police spokesman Kwok Ka-chuen told reporters that the force was in close contact with the organizers of the Jan. 1 event, but would not tolerate threats to public safety.
Kwok also said young people had been motivated to commit criminal acts during the
protests, including dropping objects from the upper stories of apartment buildings.
