Hong Kong police arrested three people, including local singer Kris Law Kai-chung, after seizing drugs worth HK$7.7 million from a Yuen Long village house on Saturday. Law rose to fame in 2018 on ViuTV's reality show 'Good Night Show – King Maker,' where he competed alongside future members of the Cantopop band Mirror.
Hong Kong police launched an anti-drug operation on Saturday, searching a village house in Yuen Long and seizing narcotics valued at HK$7.7 million (US$988,118). The haul included cocaine, crystal meth, ketamine, and etomidate capsules. Officers arrested two local men and one mainland Chinese woman on suspicion of trafficking, manufacturing, and conspiring to traffic dangerous drugs.
Senior Inspector Chow Ka-yun stated on Sunday that the syndicate had recruited young people as 'martyrs' to handle narcotics transport, using the village house as a site for production and storage. Police identified the ringleader and members by scrutinizing license plates and vehicle models from surveillance footage.
Among the detainees is 35-year-old singer Kris Law Kai-chung, who debuted in 2015 and gained prominence in 2018 through ViuTV's 'Good Night Show – King Maker.' During the show, he vied against contestants who later formed the popular Cantopop group Mirror. Authorities have not released further specifics but highlighted the operation's focus on dismantling organized networks.
The incident underscores ongoing efforts to combat drug crimes in Hong Kong, particularly hidden labs in rural areas. The case is set to appear in Kwun Tong Court on Monday.
