Marine Police have arrested two men and seized $1.8 million worth of computer hard disks in Sai Kung.

 

About 7.30pm yesterday officers spotted a group of people unloading goods from two vans onto five speedboats at Nam Wai. The boats fled when they saw the officers.

 

A total of 130 boxes of disks were seized from the vans. The two male drivers, aged 21 and 51, were arrested for assisting in the export of unmanifested cargo.

 

The case will be handed to the Customs & Excise Department for further investigation.
