Hong Kong Customs shuts down suspected drug manufacturing centre and seizes suspected drug worth about $2.1 million

Hong Kong Customs yesterday (October 3) shut down a suspected drug manufacturing centre in Kwai Chung and seized about 2.5 kilograms of suspected cocaine and 293 grams of suspected crack cocaine with a total estimated market value of about $2.1 million. Two men, aged 55 and 23, were arrested.

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.

Members of the public may report any suspected drug trafficking activities to Customs' 24-hour hotline 182 8080 or its dedicated crime-reporting email account (crimereport@customs.gov.hk) or online form (eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/ced002).
