Four Arrested Over HK$25 Million Cocaine Haul

Police said on Wednesday that they had made four arrests after seizing HK$25 million worth of cocaine at a village house in Sha Tau Kok.

Officers from the Narcotics Bureau found 13 kilogrammes of half-processed cocaine and eight kilogrammes which was ready to go.

Manufacturing equipment and knives were also confiscated in the raid.

Three local men were arrested along with a man from Colombia.

Superintendent Ng Wing-sze said the village house was well hidden by trees and bushes, and it would be easy for people to go in and out without being seen.

She said the two-storey village house is located at a remote hill side, which had made it difficult for the police to detect the goings-on there.

"There’s a very high chance for the syndicate, if not detected by the police, to finish all the refining process and manufacturing process," she said.

Officers believe the cocaine was to be sold in Hong Kong.
