Customs officers have confiscated 91 kilogrammes of cocaine from a flat in Sha Tin – a haul authorities estimate to be worth more than HK$100 million.

A 41-year-old man has been arrested. Investigators believe the man was responsible for managing the flat for a syndicate and delivering the drugs to peddlers in Kowloon East and New Territories East.

The head of the Customs Drug Investigation Bureau, Hui Wai-ming, said the bricks carried logos of horses, leaves and dolphins.

He said he couldn't comment on whether these "brands" had been seen before, but noted it was common practice for drugs suppliers to mark drugs with logos.
