The Public Security Police (PSP) have arrested a local man for knocking over an illegally parked motorbike, PSP spokesman Cheong Heon Fan said during a regular press conference yesterday.
The press conference was held at the Judiciary Police (PJ) headquarters in Zape.
Cheong identified the suspect as a local lorry driver surnamed Un in his thirties.
According to Cheong, on the evening of August 22, the motorcycle owner parked the vehicle on the pavement in Estrada dos Cavaleiros (騎士馬路) in the northern district. Upon returning on the morning of August 26, Cheong said, the owner discovered that his motorcycle had been knocked over, with multiple scratches on the left side of the bodywork.
Cheong said that the estimated repair cost amounted to around 3,000 patacas. The owner subsequently reported the incident to the Public Security Police.
According to Cheong, PSP officers identified Un through CCTV footage. He was summoned to the Public Security Police on Tuesday where he admitted that on the night in question while walking home intoxicated, he accidentally collided with the motorcycle before leaving the scene.
Un was transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing charges of causing property damage.
Cheong also said that the motorcycle owner has been ordered to pay a fine of 300 patacas for illegal parking.
