Customs officers said on Tuesday that they had seized 14 kilogrammes of cocaine during raids on an industrial building and four residential flats.

Most of the drug, which is estimated to have a street value of about HK$14 million, was found hidden inside a noodle-making machine at an industrial unit in To Kwa Wan.

Officers said the machine had been sent to Hong Kong in a package from Brazil, via the mainland.

In a follow-up operation, officers searched four flats in Tuen Mun and seized another two kilos of cocaine. Two men were arrested during the operation.
