Customs seize meth worth around HK$170m
Customs officers on Monday said they had seized 240 kilogrammes of suspected methamphetamine worth an estimated HK$170 million. The haul was found hidden in synthetic leather that arrived in a cargo container from Mexico and was bound for Sydney. Four men were arrested, including one in Australia. Fong Heung-wing, head of Customs' drug investigation bureau, said officers are working with the authorities in different countries to tackle drug trafficking. "We will not allow Hong Kong to be the transit port of drugs," he said.
