Illicit haul: Marine Police have seized 219 boxes of unmanifested electronic products, which included these computer disks.

Marine Police have arrested two men and seized more than 200 boxes of unmanifested electronic products worth about $19 million in Sai Kung.

 

Last night's anti-smuggling operation was launched after the goods were seen being loaded from two vans into three speedboats at Wong Shek Pier.

 

When officers intervened, several smugglers abandoned the cargo and escaped in the speedboats. A 36-year-old male van driver was arrested for exporting unmanifested cargo. The other 34-year-old male driver surrendered to Police later.

 

The haul included computer disks, central processing units and watch parts.
