HONG KONG, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- Rioters continued disruptive activities in Hong Kong on Sunday afternoon, vandalizing shops and hurling a smoke bomb.

The police said Sunday in a statement that rioters vandalized shops at New Town Plaza in Shatin and blocked the entrances and staircases of the shopping mall with miscellaneous objects.

A rioter hurled a smoke bomb at the bus terminus outside Exit A of Shatin metro station.

As there were many residents waiting for buses at the bus terminus, the act was extremely irresponsible and could cause chaos and stir up public fear, the police said and warned them to stop all illegal activities immediately.
