A wooden box was found Saturday with a bomb threat attached in the Aberdeen area of the former British colony.
It was one of a series of hoaxes over the last few weeks as officials tightened security while Hong Kong played host to the Olympic equestrian events.
One false bomb was discovered in a flower bed outside the main entrance of a Tsim Sha Tui hotel where Olympic VIP guests were staying.
Another caused traffic chaos when a main road had to be cordoned off in the busy Mongkok area.
