A telephone report involving Mrs Liu, a Mandarin-speaking resident, a Crime Stoppers call taker, and an interpreter. A suspected burglary is occurring outside her home.

  1. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 1

    Crime Stoppers. How can I help you today?

    這裡是滅罪熱線。請問今天有什麼可以幫您?

  2. Mrs Liu · turn 2

    我家對面的房子好像正在被人闖入。我需要普通話口譯員。

    It looks as though someone is breaking into the house opposite mine. I need a Mandarin interpreter.

  3. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 3

    An interpreter has joined the call. Is the crime happening right now?

    口譯員已加入通話。這起犯罪正在發生嗎?

  4. Mrs Liu · turn 4

    是的,我剛才看見一名男子用撬棍撬開側門,然後走進屋裡。

    Yes. I just saw a man force open the side door with a crowbar and go inside.

  5. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 5

    Because it is in progress, please contact emergency services immediately. Are you somewhere safe?

    由於事件正在發生,請立即聯絡緊急服務。您目前在安全的地方嗎?

  6. Mrs Liu · turn 6

    我在屋裡,門窗都鎖好了。我沒有靠近,也沒有跟著他。

    I am inside my home and the doors and windows are locked. I have not gone near him or followed him.

  7. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 7

    Good. Please do not approach him. Can you describe him and tell me whether you saw a vehicle?

    很好,請不要靠近他。您可以描述一下他嗎?有沒有看見車輛?

  8. Mrs Liu · turn 8

    他大約三十多歲,穿灰色連帽衫和深色褲子。我看見一輛白色廂型車停在附近,但沒有看清車牌。

    He is about thirty-something, wearing a grey hooded top and dark trousers. I saw a white van nearby, but I could not read the registration number.

  9. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 9

    Thank you. Keep away from the windows if you can, and pass this information to emergency services. Do not touch anything if the person leaves.

    謝謝您。如可以,請遠離窗戶,並將這些資訊提供給緊急服務。若那人離開,請不要觸碰任何物品。

  10. Mrs Liu · turn 10

    明白。我剛才看到白色廂型車開走,但我可以安全地從窗邊看到街道。

    I understand. I have just seen the white van leave, but I can see the street safely from the window.

  11. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 11

    If the van leaves, note its direction of travel and any part of the registration plate only if you can do so safely.

    如果廂型車離開,請記下它行駛的方向和您能安全看到的任何車牌部分。

  12. Mrs Liu · turn 12

    我看到車牌最後三個字母可能是K、L、M,但我不能確定。車子往東邊開走了。

    I think the last three letters of the registration plate were K, L and M, but I am not certain. The vehicle drove east.

  13. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 13

    Do not enter the neighbouring property or disturb potential forensic evidence. The police may ask you for a witness statement.

    請勿進入鄰居的房產,也不要擾動任何可能的鑑證證據。警方可能會請您提供證人陳述。

  14. Mrs Liu · turn 14

    我也是目擊者。我認為這是一起強行入室盜竊罪行,因為我看見嫌疑人把一個袋子放進廂型車。

    I am also a witness. I think this is a breaking and entering offence because I saw the suspect put a bag into the van.

  15. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 15

    The police will assess whether larceny or any other offence has occurred. Please describe only what you observed.

    警方會評估是否發生盜竊罪或其他罪行。請只描述您親眼所見的情況。

  16. Mrs Liu · turn 16

    在他離開前,他推倒了一名試圖阻止他的鄰居。我擔心這可能是普通襲擊。

    Before he left, he pushed over a neighbour who tried to stop him. I am concerned that this may be a common assault.

  17. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 17

    Please tell emergency services that there may have been a common assault, but do not try to apprehend the suspect yourself. The injured neighbour should seek medical assistance.

    請告知緊急服務,可能發生了普通襲擊,但請勿自行拘捕嫌疑人。受傷的鄰居應尋求醫療協助。

  18. Mrs Liu · turn 18

    明白。我可以提供證詞,也會告訴警察我只看到和聽到的事情,不會猜測。

    I understand. I can provide a statement and will tell the police only what I saw and heard; I will not speculate.

  19. Crime Stoppers Call Taker · turn 19

    If officers later interview the suspect, they will give the appropriate police caution before questioning. For now, remain inside and keep yourself safe.

    如果警員稍後訊問嫌疑人,他們會在問話前作出適當的警方權利告知。現在請留在屋內並確保自身安全。

  20. Mrs Liu · turn 20

    明白。我會聯絡緊急服務,留在屋內,並把我看到的情況如實告訴警方。

    I understand. I will contact emergency services, remain inside, and tell the police exactly what I saw.
