Customs officers said on Saturday that they have made a substantial drug bust, after finding 250 kilograms of cocaine valued at around HK$240 million.
Officers found the drugs in two flats in To Kwa Wan and Tsim Sha Tsui, as well as a hotel room in Yau Ma Tei.
They have arrested two foreign men, who are believed to be core members of a transnational drug-trafficking syndicate.
Officers said the men tried to evade authorities by posing as high-end tourists and using brand-named suitcases to transport the drugs.
The drugs are believed to be supplied to the Asia-pacific area, and their source is linked to local triads.
The suspects will appear in Kowloon City court next week.
