Hong Kong Customs said on Friday that officials have seized about 3 kilograms of suspected cocaine and about 26 grams of suspected crack cocaine with a total estimated market value of about HK$3.3 million, and a man will appear in court on Saturday.

They said they raided a flat near Tai Koo on May 23, where they found the suspected drugs.

They said they arrested a 20-year-old man two days later when he visited the apartment.

They said they laid a holding charge of one count of trafficing in a dangerous drug, and the man is due to appear at the Kwun Tong Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
