CRIME | HK man arrested over drug trafficking

A Hong Kong resident has been arrested for drug trafficking, according to a TDM report. After receiving a tip-off pointing to a 25-year-old man from Hong Kong, the Judiciary Police put the suspect under surveillance. Police authorities were able to seize 22 packs of cocaine worth about MOP24,000.
The suspect admitted to selling drugs to teenagers and nightclub goers for about MOP800 a pack.
“He claimed that he has been trafficking drugs into Macau for over a month already. He usually contacts a drug dealer via phone and sells him some drugs. He will then smuggle it into Macau,” said Ieong Sau Chan, PJ’s spokesperson, as quoted by TDM.
The police also seized a scale and other drug-related products from the suspect’s flat. He is facing drug trafficking charges, and the police have referred his case to the Public Prosecutions Office.
