Custom officers on Tuesday said they recently seized a haul of suspected methamphetamine and heroin with an estimated market value of about HK$16 million.

A 51-year-old man was arrested in Tai Kok Tsui on Monday, five days after the drugs were discovered at Kwai Chung Customhouse.

The drugs were inside a container shipped from Vietnam that was declared as food and electronic parts, Customs said.

About 19 kilogrammes of methamphetamine and about six kilogrammes of heroin were found hidden inside the packaging of seasoning power and skincare products.
