Customs and Police officers have seized 144,000 computer hard disks, worth $4 million, and arrested a 26-year-old driver at Sai Wan Tsui in Sai Kung.

 

At about 3am this morning, officers laid an ambush at Sai Wan Tsui and arrested the man as he loaded goods from his truck onto a speedboat.

 

Officials believe a syndicate was attempting to smuggle computer equipment to the Mainland.
