2:18Now PlayingHong Kong police said Wednesday they will enter a blockaded university to clean up hazardous material before lifting a 10-day siege, after civilian search teams found no evidence of any protesters still on campus.
Yau Tsim District police chief Ho Yun-sing said safety teams comprising of explosive disposal experts will move into Polytechnic University on Thursday morning to gather evidence and remove stockpiles of dangerous items including petrol bombs and corrosive liquid.
“Our ultimate goal is to restore the safety of the campus and to reopen the campus as soon as possible,” Ho Yun-Sing said.
The university said earlier in a statement many laboratories and facilities on the campus had been vandalized, and some chemicals and dangerous goods were missing.
Speaking outside Tsim Sha Tsui police station, Ho said, "There are two purposes for the safety team: to handling dangerous items and offensive weapons like petrol bombs and corrosive liquids; and also to gather evidence for the extensive damage inside the school."
Hardcore protesters occupied the campus nearly two-weeks ago after blocking the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and setting toll booths on fire during clashes with police.
Some 1,100 protesters have left or were arrested by police.
