【2008年2月15日澳門日報消息】十一名少年情人節放火燒貓，極盡殘忍，揭示部分青少年有暴力傾向。新橋區一空地昨日凌晨發生罕見懷疑縱火事件，稚氣未除的少年男女聚集福安街一空地嬉戲，疑將一頭小貓插於竹竿上放火焚燒，且燃燒現場家具雜物，儼如自辦營火晚會。
可憐小貓被燒至四肢折斷，肚破腸流。?人意猶未盡，數小時後疑折返現場繼續耍樂之際，被到場調查的警員截獲。各人被調查時仍嬉皮笑臉，似未對自身行徑感到內疚。
濃煙滿佈 街坊報警
被帶走的少年共十一人，九男兩女，年齡介乎十一至十四歲，部分為學生。現場消息稱，昨日凌晨○時許，相關少年疑外出歡度情人節，糾?聚集福安街福安大廈對開空地內，追逐嬉戲，喧鬧聲擾人清夢。興之所至，有人將場內木板、桌椅翻倒，再於空地及花圃內焚燒各種可燃物件。現場濃煙充斥，火光熊熊，各人圍繞火場耍樂，儼如自設營火晚會。
有居民見空地滿佈濃煙，疑發生火警，報警求助。消防員及警員接報到場處理，相關者已作鳥獸散。
肚破腸流 手段殘忍
期間，警員發現一棵樹榦懸掛竹竿，細加察看，赫見竹竿末端插?一頭燒焦的小貓，頸部遭竹竿貫穿，全身燒焦發黑，四肢斷裂，腸臟溢出，死狀可怖，慘不忍睹。從其死狀可見，小貓遭長時間焚燒，不排除死後不久遭人放火，甚或被活活燒死。涉嫌者手段殘忍，令人咋舌。
經調查，消防員發現起火原因有可疑，將案件轉交司警調查。鑑於事態嚴重，警方隨即部署，在附近一帶兜截可疑男女。至凌晨三時許，街上寂靜，疑有人以為事件平息，遂再次折返空地，繼續嬉戲。警員見狀即上前表露身份，將涉嫌者帶走調查。
嬉皮笑臉 毫無悔意
空地內放火痕跡處處，木板、樹枝、桌椅、鐵枝等遭焚燬。十一名稚氣未除的少年男女在街上接受查問，及作相關資料初步登記時，除個別一、兩人低頭不語，部分人低聲對話，甚或嬉皮笑臉，沒當一回事。
有居民對相關者態度感到惋惜，難以明瞭其動機及心態。各人事後一併被帶走，司警正徹查事件是否涉刑事成份，案件有待調查。
