Hong Kong | Police seize meth, heroin worth USD25 million
Hong Kong police said yesterday that they seized 195 million Hong Kong dollars ($25 million) worth of illegal drugs as part of a monthslong investigation, the largest seizure of the year.
Police said the drugs, including 148 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine and 86 kilograms of heroin, were uncovered Wednesday in an industrial building. A suspect was arrested and was due to appear in court today.
Police said at a news conference that the drugs were linked to a syndicate that had been under investigation for months.
In May and July the investigation led to the arrests of eight men and four women aged between 16 and 45 on suspicion of manufacturing and trafficking drugs as well as obstructing the police. MDT/AP
