Hong Kong Customs announced Wednesday that they seized about 10 kg of met amphetamine in an anti-drug trafficking operation on Tuesday.
On April 28, customs officers intercepted an incoming private vehicle at Lok Ma Chau Control Point for clearance and uncovered the drug in the baggage of the three passengers in the vehicle.
Three of the arrested, two Malaysian men and one Malaysian woman, aged between 27 and 36, will be charged with trafficking a dangerous drug. The male driver, a 41-year-old local resident, has been released on police bail pending investigations.
Under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, drug trafficking is a serious offense. The maximum penalty is life imprisonment and a fine of 5 million HK dollars.
