"Around 137 liters of corrosive chemicals were found. Initial investigation suggests that the chemicals were brought to the location for storage," a police officer told reporters. 

It is suspected that these chemicals maybe related to the items which were earlier stolen from a laboratory at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), police said, adding that further investigation is currently underway.
