I encourage outstanding individuals with affection for the country and Hong Kong, proven capabilities, a sense of responsibility and a passion to serve the public to stand for the election."

Hong Kong Customs Seizes About 4.5kg of Drugs Worth About $1.45 Million from Arriving Passengers

Hong Kong Customs detects two dangerous drug cases at airport

Hong Kong Customs yesterday (September 15) and today (September 16) detected two drug trafficking cases involving two incoming air passengers at Hong Kong International Airport and seized about 3.5 kilograms of suspected cannabis buds and 1kg of suspected cocaine with a total estimated market value of about $1.45 million.

In the first case, during customs clearance of a 61-year-old Mainland female passenger who arrived in Hong Kong from Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday, Customs officers found the batch of suspected cannabis buds with an estimated market value of about $700,000 from her carry-on suitcase. The woman was subsequently arrested.

In the second case, a 29-year-old Mainland male passenger arrived in Hong Kong from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, today. During customs clearance, Customs officers found the batch of suspected cocaine with an estimated market value of about $750,000 in the shoes worn by him. He was subsequently arrested.

Investigation of the first case is ongoing. The arrested person in the second case has been charged with one count of trafficking in a dangerous drug and the case will be brought up at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts tomorrow (September 17).

Customs will continue to step up enforcement against drug trafficking activities through intelligence analysis. The department also reminds members of the public to stay alert and not to participate in drug trafficking activities for monetary return. They must not accept hiring or delegation from another party to carry controlled items into and out of Hong Kong.

Customs will continue to apply a risk assessment approach and focus on selecting passengers from high-risk regions for clearance to combat transnational drug trafficking activities.

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).
