A 19-year-old has been jailed for possessing offensive weapons with intent.
During routine home inspection in a Yuen Long housing estate undercover "raptor" tactical unit discovered the man possessing lethal sticks disguised as wooden door frame which he intended to fashion into deadly weapons to fend off patriotic triads roaming the area if they attempted to enter his family's flat.
