The Judiciary Police (PJ) are investigating a suspected arson case at Macau Tower that happened early yesterday morning, PJ spokesman Leng Kam Lon said during a regular press conference yesterday.
The fire broke out near a lift in a storeroom on the second floor of Macau Tower.
Leng said at around 4 a.m. yesterday, a security guard saw flames there and immediately reported the fire to the police. As the water sprinklers were also activated, the fire was extinguished automatically and no one was injured in the incident.
According to Leng, firefighters rushed to the building where they discovered a pile of burnt cardboard. After investigating, firemen concluded that the cause of the fire was suspicious and decided to transfer the case to the Judiciary Police for further investigation.
The case has been listed as a suspected arson, Leng said.
