The commander of the second unit of the drug investigation, Xiang Rong, said that during this arrest, Customs first found a male deliveryman not wearing a foodpanda uniform on Shau Kei Wan Road. He was wearing a motorcycle helmet and holding a foodpanda food delivery. bag and 2 reusable bags. When the man was about to enter the Wankang Building, customs officers stepped forward to intercept and check and seized a total of about 24 kilograms of cocaine in the 3 bags, so he was arrested and then went upstairs to the man. The rented residential unit and the motorcycle registered in the man's name were searched, but no illegal drugs were found.
After a preliminary investigation by Customs, the arrested 25-year-old man was mainly responsible for the role of "watching the warehouse" in the drug trafficking syndicate, and the upstairs unit was only rented for a few months, mainly for drug storage and distribution.
At the time of the man's arrest, Customs believed that he was trying to disguise himself as a food deliveryman and had just "brought goods" to the upstairs unit from outside.
The arrested man lives alone in the unit, has no gangland background, and reports that he is unemployed. He will be detained overnight for investigation. Customs currently believes that the batch of drugs has not yet come out of the market, and it is not ruled out that more people will be arrested.
Fang Rong continued to point out that drug trafficking under the disguise of being a delivery person is rare, and the use of motorcycles to transport drugs has greatly increased the difficulty of law enforcement and investigation.
According to the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, Chapter 134 of the Laws of Hong Kong, upon conviction, the maximum penalty is a fine of HK$5 million and life imprisonment.
