Hsinchu police debut youth crime‑prevention camp, radio anti‑fraud drive

The Hsinchu County Police Bureau expanded its annual "Police Experience Camp" with a new immersive "Youth Crime‑Search Mission" that turns the station into a simulated crime scene. Participants aged 12‑18 work through six stations that include fingerprint analysis, mobile forensics, and a display of a Harley‑powered police motorcycle, learning investigative techniques while receiving lessons on anti‑fraud, anti‑drugs, personal safety, and traffic rules. The program filled its quota within minutes, highlighting strong community interest in hands‑on crime‑prevention education.

Separately, the Hsinchu City Police Second Precinct’s deputy chief Lin Shuo‑Jian appeared on the police radio station to warn listeners about a rising “fake e‑commerce startup” scam. He explained how fraudsters use social‑media ads promising zero‑cost online stores, then demand prepaid deposits and fees before disappearing. Lin urged the public to verify offers, avoid unsolicited LINE requests, and contact the 165 anti‑fraud hotline for assistance. Both initiatives aim to boost public awareness and reduce victimisation.
