Hong Kong Customs achieved a significant breakthrough on February 13th when they successfully intercepted a drug trafficking operation involving concealed baggage at Hong Kong International Airport. In a successful operation, approximately six kilograms of suspected cocaine, with an estimated market value of HK$5.5 million, were seized.
The investigation revolves around two female passengers, aged 58 and 48, who were arriving in Hong Kong. The first woman, arriving from Hanoi, Vietnam on February 13th, was apprehended during customs clearance when authorities discovered a hidden batch of suspected cocaine within her checked-in baggage. Consequently, she was promptly arrested.
As the investigation progressed, another woman suspected to be connected to the case was apprehended at the airport on February 14th. Both individuals have been jointly charged with one count of trafficking in a dangerous drug. They are scheduled to appear at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on February 16th.
This successful operation showcases the vigilance and effectiveness of Hong Kong Customs in combating drug trafficking at the international airport. Such efforts play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and security of the region.
