Police said on Saturday that a man had been arrested on suspicion of using a self-storage space for drug trafficking.

Officers said that based on intelligence, they stopped the suspect outside a storage unit in Kwai Chung on Friday. They allege that the bags he was carrying contained several kilograms of cannabis buds.

Police say they then found some 270 kilograms of the drug, with a street value of around HK$59 million dollars, in the storage space.
