Hong Kong Police

Police have charged a 32-year-old man for drug trafficking after seizing $9.5 million in cannabis in To Kwa Wan, the biggest haul since 2002.

 

He will appear in the Kowloon City Magistracy Monday.

 

Officers ambushed a building on Tam Kung Road at 4.45pm yesterday and intercepted the man when he left with 1kg of herbal cannabis. Another 211kg was found in his flat in vaccum-packed plastic bags.

 

The cannabis was imported from the Mainland.
