Traffickers changing how they bring in drugs: police
Police said on Saturday they noticed some drug traffickers changing their techniques for bringing narcotics into Hong Kong.  Officers made the remarks after seizing suspected cannabis, cocaine and methamphetamine with a total street value of $80 million on Thursday and Friday, while arresting six men suspected of drug trafficking.  A senior inspector in the narcotics bureau, Tsang Hin-chiu, said the way illegal drugs were smuggled into the SAR had changed.  "The police noticed that some recent drug trafficking cases had sought to use different cover-ups, like construction materials, to transport the drugs into Hong Kong through normal channels, such as air and shipping, in an attempt to avoid getting detected by law enforcement officers," he said. The six suspects, aged between 20 and 59, were apprehended in operations at Tai Wai, San Po Kong and Mong Kok.  In an operation on Thursday, police found slabs of suspected cocaine stored inside a public housing flat.
