Hong Kong police make biggest cocaine bust of year, finding HK$200 million worth of drug in scrap metal from South America
Hong Kong police have made their biggest cocaine seizure this year, confiscating more than HK$2o0 million worth of the illegal drug hidden in 40 tonnes of scrap metal at a warehouse in the New Territories.
Superintendent Wilson Tam of the force’s narcotics bureau said on Sunday that officers intercepted two cargo containers from South American country Suriname last week after receiving intelligence, and discovered 225kg of cocaine bricks – the most found this year by police.
“We’ve noticed that transnational drug syndicates have used international logistics to traffic large amounts of suspected cocaine into Hong Kong,” he said.
Tam said officers traced the cargo to a 10,000 sq ft warehouse in Ping Che, near Fanling, and spent more than 15 hours on Friday examining every single piece of scrap metal among the 40 tonnes for hidden drugs.
