Under the epidemic, customs clearance was blocked. Drug dealers used to rely on air transport to smuggle drugs into Hong Kong as tourists, and instead used sea routes to smuggle drugs into Hong Kong in one go.
The police discovered that a drug cartel suspected that a large quantity of ketamine, commonly known as "Ketzer", was transported from Pakistan to waters close to Hong Kong by ocean-going vessels, and then transported by speedboat to Lei Yue Mun Wharf ashore, during which a large number of "watchers" were present to observe the environment , And rented vehicles to assist in drug trafficking.

The detectives then took action. A suspect jumped into the sea and tried to escape, but was rescued by the detective from Zhonghai and arrested. At the same time, the detectives also arrested three suspects on the shore.
The police intercepted 17 drugs packed in sacks on the shore. The speedboat involved in the case quickly fled the scene and fled towards Shek O in the east waters. In the meantime, someone on the boat dumped the remaining 31 sacks of drugs in the sea. These sacks of drugs were seized in the nearby sea.
