The independent Yuen Long District Councillor Ben Ho, who was arrested this week for what police described as a threatening Facebook post in March 2020, has resigned.
Ho is said to have stepped down from his post after charges were laid against him for posting a photo of a knife on Facebook last year and announcing a sweep of a local neighbourhood he was preparing to make to put an end to gambling and street crime.
Police have said that they received an anonymous complaint about the post last year. The resident said they were scared and concerned. The police then consulted twice with the Justice Department and made the arrest this week.
