Macau police have arrested three Hong Kong teenagers, including a 13-year-old girl, on suspicion of trafficking HK$190,000 worth of cocaine into the former Portuguese colony.

The girl and a 19-year-old man were intercepted by police at Macau's ferry pier on Monday night and officers said they found about 40 grammes of cocaine in the girl's underwear.

Police also claimed that the man travelling with her told them she had been paid HK$3,000 by a syndicate to smuggle the drugs into Macau, and he was given HK$500 to accompany her.

Shortly before the alleged drugs find, officers had arrested an 18-year-old man from Hong Kong at a hotel in Macau. Officers said they found about a dozen grammes of cocaine in his room.
