Hong Kong customs on Wednesday arrested a 31-year-old man, who arrived on a plane from Thailand with nearly 8 kilos of suspected liquid ketamine.

The suspected ketamine, which would have a street value of about HK$3 million, was found in 13 bottles inside the man's baggage.

Separately, customs arrested a 15-year-old boy on Sunday in Sham Tseng after 75 grams of suspected ketamine was found inside a handbag, sent in an air parcel from Thailand.

He will appear in West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on Friday.
