The grocery store involved in the case is closed today.

The proprietors of another nearby shop bluntly said that the shop seemed to be "not for business".

The store has been open for several months. Although the facade is narrow, the inside is "very deep". The estimated area is more than 500 square feet. On weekdays, a man in his 40s usually visits the store, but it is almost "out of stock". There are a small amount of floor mops, aprons, several masks, etc., "putting some garbage to sell", "empty, not normal", and the grocery store clerk involved in the case often said that because the store was newly opened, the goods "haven't arrived yet" together".

The owner of the shop interviewed said with a smile that the rent of shops in the nearby area is at least tens of thousands of yuan. He was surprised that the grocery store involved in the case had a large space but few goods. He made a deposit, handed in the last installment, and later got it (closed)", and he was "worried that he would die". Today, he was even more surprised to learn that there was a universe inside the store and a large amount of drugs were hidden.

The police held a press conference this afternoon to announce the cracking of a drug trafficking case. They said that after in-depth investigations and intelligence analysis, members of the Special Duty Team of the Mong Kok Police District entered a ground floor shop in Tsuen Wan District yesterday (28th) holding a court warrant and seized a total of 130 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine packaged in tea, a 42-year-old male clerk involved in the case was arrested in the store.

The store involved appears to be a grocery store or a household goods store. The background of the arrested male employee and the source of the seized drugs are still under investigation.
