Authorities confiscate narcotics and related products worth approximately one million Hong Kong dollars; 20-year-old suspect arrested
On April 7, 2025, Hong Kong Customs conducted an anti-narcotics operation in Tai Po, resulting in the seizure of suspected illegal drugs and cannabis-related products with an estimated market value of approximately one million Hong Kong dollars.
A 20-year-old man was arrested in connection with the case.
During the operation, Customs officers intercepted the suspect and found approximately 2 grams of suspected cannabis buds in his possession.
Following the arrest, officers searched a nearby residential unit linked to the suspect.
The search led to the discovery of approximately 3.3 kilograms of suspected cannabis buds, 1,700 grams of suspected cannabis cookies, 900 grams of suspected cannabis-infused gummy candies, and 700 grams of suspected cannabis oil.
Additional items seized included 515 suspected cannabis oil vape capsules, 100 vape sticks containing suspected tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 120 tablets of suspected MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy), and a batch of suspected drug packaging paraphernalia.
The suspect has been charged with one count of trafficking in a dangerous drug and one count of possession of a dangerous drug.
He is scheduled to appear at Fanling Magistrates' Courts on April 9, 2025.
Under Hong Kong's Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, trafficking in a dangerous drug is a serious criminal offence punishable by a maximum fine of five million Hong Kong dollars and life imprisonment.
