Police on Friday said they had made their biggest ever seizure of ketamine, finding a haul worth some HK$437 million.

Officers said they arrested a 23-year-old man as he left an apartment in Yuen Long on Wednesday.

At a warehouse in Kwai Chung, officers later found almost 682 kilogrammes of ketamine, stored in pasta boxes.

Police said the drugs were smuggled into Hong Kong as part of a shipment from Pakistan which arrived last month.

Chief superintendent Lam Man-han said the suspect was expected to appear in Fanling Court on Saturday charged with trafficking dangerous drugs.
