Special delivery: Marine Police Superintendent Wong Chun-chin and Guangzhou Customs District Anti-smuggling Bureau Deputy Director General Zhang Xuguang officiate at the handover ceremony.

Guangzhou customs officers have handed over $1.8 million worth of stolen goods to Hong Kong Police.

Several culprits tied up a crew member of a barge berthed 200 metres off the Tuen Mun River Trade Terminal in February.

They took seven containers carrying illuminations, mint products, linen, processed food and enamelled tiles.

On February 20 Guangzhou customs officers found the goods off Qiao Island near Nei Ling Ding Dao.
