A 38-year-old Hong Kong war games fan was jailed for over five years for possessing an unlicensed pistol and ammunition. Wong Chun-yin purchased the handgun and bullets from another war-gamer before the anti-government protests. The weapon had been handled by at least four individuals before being confiscated by the police, raising concerns about it ending up in the wrong hands.
Woodcock was initially sentenced to eight years in prison but received a reduced term of five years and four months due to his early guilty plea. Wong, a parking meter repair technician, and his wife were investigated for an alleged plot to murder police officers during the 2019 social unrest. Although they were cleared of involvement, Wong was charged with unlicensed possession of arms and ammunition. A P80 semi-automatic pistol loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition was found hidden under a sofa during a search of their flat on October 8, 2021.
Wong said under caution he had bought the pistol and bullets from a man called Stephen So Hon-to, who he had met around 2011 while playing war games.
Hong Kong police arrested a man for possessing offensive and prohibited weapons, including imitation firearms. They seized 7 imitation guns and other weapons. The suspect had bought a handgun and ammunition on the dark web using bitcoin. Prosecutors agreed not to pursue a separate charge related to two air guns found in the defendant's previous home. Possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition in Hong Kong carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail.
