Shen Kun, the investigation director of the Customs Narcotics Investigation Division, explained the case. The three arrested persons were between 14 and 15 years old. Among them, the 14-year-old boy was responsible for signing for the goods and delivering them to the residence. His girlfriend and girlfriend of the same age were accompanying him. A 15-year-old boy is the brother of a 14-year-old boy.
Shen Kun said that on the 22nd of this month, customs inspected a batch of goods declared as cosmetics at the airport, and found that 4 kicking targets for boxing sports in 3 boxes were suspicious under X-ray images. After opening, they found that there were 4 bricks weighing a total of 1.5 kg of heroin.
Customs continued to investigate, and as a result, people were arrested in Sau Mau Ping yesterday. One of them was accompanied by his girlfriend to sign for the goods. He was escorted home and searched. Another 3 kilograms of methamphetamine and a batch of packaging tools were found in the drawer of the room. His brother was in the residence. Inside: 1.5 kilograms of heroin and 3 kilograms of methamphetamine, with a total market value of 3 million yuan.
He pointed out that more and more young people, especially minors, are involved in drug trafficking activities. They lure money and lure them, and mistakenly believe that minors do not have to bear criminal responsibility.
It is understood that the juvenile will receive a reward of 15,000 yuan for signing for the batch of drugs, and then provide "one-stop" services, including packaging and selling, and then receive a 5-figure reward.
The extent to which the boy's brother and girlfriend were involved remains to be further investigated.
He reminded the public that trafficking in dangerous drugs is a serious crime. Once convicted, the maximum fine is $5 million and life imprisonment should be imposed.
