During an anti-narcotics operation conducted in Kwai Chung yesterday, Customs officers intercepted the two men with suspicious actions and seized about 70g and 3g of suspected crack cocaine from them respectively. The two men were subsequently arrested. Customs officers later escorted them to a residential premises nearby for a search and further seized about 2.5kg of suspected cocaine, 220g of suspected crack cocaine and a batch of suspected drug manufacturing paraphernalia.
The two arrested men, both claimed to be unemployed, have each been charged with one count of trafficking in dangerous drugs and one count of possession of dangerous drugs, and jointly charged with one count of trafficking in dangerous drugs. They will appear at West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts tomorrow (October 5).
Under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, trafficking in a dangerous drug is a serious offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $5 million and life imprisonment.
