Police Received 8 Prank Calls, Including A Bomb Hoax, During Andy Lau’s Hong Kong Concert

Heavenly King Andy Lau, 63, wrapped up his Today…is the Day tour on January 10, playing his final concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. 

Sadly, Andy’s last show saw the Hong Kong police involved, no thanks to one devious prank caller. 

According to reports, the police received a call at 8.51pm, just half an hour after Andy began performing.

The caller, who claimed to be a staff member of the Coliseum, said that an electrical line had caught fire backstage and that they had hurt themselves in the accident.

Firefighters and medics rushed to the scene, only to find no fire at all. 

The police received another call one minute after the firefighters left the scene.

This time, the caller reported a suspicious vehicle parked outside the Coliseum. 

A minute after that, they received a third call informing them of a fight happening in the Coliseum. 

The police arrived at the scene, and after a thorough investigation, confirmed that both calls were false alarms.

The police continued to receive five more calls that night. 

The caller first claimed there was an audience member who was feeling unwell, then called in again to report that someone had fainted at the entrance of the venue.

Medics, again, rushed to the scene, only to discover that the calls were pranks. 

The caller then decided to get really creative with their story, saying they spotted “suspicious white powder” on a seat in the Coliseum.

When the police arrived, they found out that the seat did not exist at all. 

The final and eighth call was made at 10.33pm, claiming that “a bomb had been set off on the Coliseum stage”. Obviously, fake. 

The police has since released a statement, revealing that all the calls they received that night were made from the same number. However, they have been unable to locate the caller. 

The calls have been classified as malicious false reports, and an investigation is now under way.

The authorities have also urged the public to refrain from making unnecessary reports and wasting public resources.
