The HK Police just arrested a person last night and in his flat they found 10 petrol bombs, TATP dynamites, knifes, safty helmets, acidic liquids, iron pipes and some T-shirts with "反送中" in it. Those rioters (the foreign trained and sponsored terrorists) are going to make a bloody scenes on this Sunday. The time has come, prepare for the worst my HK brothers.
All together 3 persons so far have been arrested in connection with the raid on the bombs:

Hong Kong police have detained three men after seizing what is being billed as the largest amount of the deadliest explosives ever uncovered in the city, along with pro-independence materials, from a home-made laboratory in a Tsuen Wan industrial building on the eve of another major anti-government march.
Controlled explosions were conducted on site at the Lung Shing Factory Building on Texaco Road on Saturday as the police bomb squad disposed of some of the extremely powerful and highly unstable explosives.
Senior superintendent Steve Li Kwai-wah of the Organised Crime and Triad Bureau said investigators were looking into the background of a 27-year-old man who was arrested in connection with the case to determine if it was related to the mass protest planned for Sunday, which has already sparked concerns about potential chaos because of a dispute over the route and duration of the march.
Two men, both aged 25, were also arrested on Saturday night in connection with the find, one in Tsuen Wan and the other in Sheung Shui.

Superintendent Alick McWhirter of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit said: “I think, without a doubt, this is the largest seizure we have ever come across in Hong Kong.”
Referring to triacetone triperoxide, also known as TATP, an explosive substance among the materials seized, he added: “It is well known, unstable and dangerous.”
The drama began at 10:30pm on Friday night when officers, acting on intelligence received, raided the building and found 2kg of powerful explosives, 10 petrol bombs and acidic substances being manufactured in the home-made lab, along with knives and metal rods.

McWhirter said his squad handled about 1kg of TATP on Saturday morning and were still working on another kilogram of the explosives – the detonation and disposal process was expected to take some time.
He said TATP was highly unstable and powerful, with the potential to cause exceptional damage.
“There are multiple problems because we are dealing with the explosive in different stages of its manufacture … from ice-cold conditions to room temperature,” McWhirter said.
“The nature of this explosive means that … over a number of hours, its sensitivity can change, making it a constant challenge for my officers to adapt.”
All explosives had been safely handled by 9pm on Saturday.

TATP has been used in deadly terrorist attacks around the world, including in Israel and the London bombings of July 7, 2005, in which 52 people were killed and more than 700 injured. A small amount of TATP is powerful enough to blow a car to bits, and it can be treacherous for handlers as well because of its instability.

Items seized at the site on Saturday included a T-shirt with the logo of the
Hong Kong National Front, a pro-independence group, leaflets saying “no extradition to China”, and a pamphlet on the June 9 protest march that drew historic numbers out onto the streets.
Police also seized several sets of portable loudspeakers, gas masks, goggles, hard hats and catapults, along with at least one can of kerosene.
Disqualified lawmaker Sixtus Baggio Leung Chung-hang, the spokesman of the Hong Kong National Front, was unavailable for comment by publishing time.

His group issued a statement through its Telegram messaging app channel, acknowledging that the man arrested was a member, but denying any knowledge of the explosives.
The group said the industrial unit was used to store acoustic equipment and other promotional materials.
Senior superintendent Li said the unit had been rented out for several months and the police would not rule out more arrests.
He condemned those behind the explosives lab for being irresponsible and posing a danger to society. They could face jail terms of up to 20 years under the law.

Firefighters were called in early on Saturday morning and people were evacuated from the factory building as police cordoned off the scene for bomb experts to carry out controlled detonations.
Six fire engines and two ambulances were sent to the scene.
The case raised tensions in the middle of a weekend of ongoing and planned protests against the government’s now-suspended extradition bill, even as police ramped up security measures over fears of continued violence.
In December 2017, three alleged members of a pro-independence party in Hong Kong were jailed for up to 46 months for making or possessing materials, including TATP, that could be used to produce explosives at the former ATV film studios in Ho Chung, Sai Kung.
The case was uncovered shortly before the city’s legislature was to vote on a controversial electoral reform bill in 2015.
They were suspected to be from the National Independent Party, which sought to make smoke bombs to sabotage the vote, according to a recorded police interview with one of the defendants that was played in court.
Pro-Beijing camp to hold rival rallies
Local | 18 Jul 2019 5:58
Pro-government figures are organizing a series of demonstrations to "safeguard Hong Kong", with the first planned for Saturday evening at Tamar, RTHK reports.
Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong chairwoman Starry Lee Wai-king and former health secretary Ko Wing-man are among those organizing the rallies.
They said the events will be peaceful and participants should dress in white and not wear any face masks or helmets, and not to engage in any conflicts.
One of the organizers of the rally, CPPCC member Kennedy Wong Ying-ho, said they want to provide a platform for people to voice their message against violence.
“We are going to show to Hong Kong that we can voice [our views] in a peaceful manner and we hope the society can restore its peace and develop the economy, and allow the government to continue to press on and to develop its policy for people’s livelihood,” he said.
Meanwhile, a pro-Beijing group formed mainly of CPPCC delegates held a demonstration outside the police's headquarters in Wan Chai to show their support for officers.
The Friends of Hong Kong Association said it also handed over a donation of HK$10 million to the police welfare fund.
David Lan Hong-Tsung, who was the SAR's first secretary for Home Affairs, also joined the demonstration.
“Who give us the rule of law in Hong Kong? Who give us its confidence? It’s the Hong Kong police. They are doing a very good job,” he said.
“I’ve seen many police force round the world. Among the cleanest, among the most law-abiding members on the force, you can find them in Hong Kong," he said.
"No force is a hundred percent perfect, but I can tell you that the Hong Kong police force can stand up and tell the world – we are among the cleanest,” the former official said.
