Drug Seizure

Hong Kong customs officers seized 6.5kg of suspected drugs worth HK$3.4 million (US$433,800) and arrested two men in separate operations earlier this week. The Customs and Excise Department said the first arrest took place at Hong Kong International Airport, where 3.1kg of suspected ketamine was found in a 43-year-old man's baggage from Bangkok; the second involved 1.7kg each of suspected cocaine and methamphetamine in Yau Ma Tei.
