107 Arrested, Including 14-Year-Old Female Student, in Festive Period Drug Crackdown

Law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong launched a large-scale operation to combat drug-related activities over the Christmas and New Year period. The operation resulted in the resolution of 80 cases and the arrest of 88 men and 19 women, ranging in age from 14 to 63.

The suspects are believed to have committed offenses such as manufacturing, trafficking, and possession of dangerous drugs, as well as possessing tools for drug abuse and driving under the influence of drugs.


During the operation, law enforcement seized a total of 73 kilograms of illicit substances, including cocaine, heroin, ketamine, cannabis, and methamphetamine. These drugs have an estimated street value of HK$27 million. Authorities noted that among those arrested, 12 were young people aged 20 or below, primarily apprehended for possessing or trafficking dangerous drugs. The youngest individual, a 14-year-old female student in her second year of secondary school, was arrested for possessing cannabis oil and drug paraphernalia.


Initial investigations suggest that drug trafficking syndicates provide free drugs to teenagers who then become addicted and unable to afford their own supply. These vulnerable individuals are coerced into participating in drug trafficking activities and bear the legal consequences.


Law enforcement agencies strongly urge citizens, especially young people, not to engage in illegal activities and to report any encounters with drug-related operations promptly.


节日期间扫毒107人被捕,其中包括14岁女学生


香港执法机构在圣诞节和新年期间展开了一项大规模行动,以打击与毒品相关的活动。


此次行动解决了80起案件,并逮捕了88名男性和19名女性,年龄在14至63岁之间。这些嫌疑人涉嫌制造、贩卖和拥有危险毒品,以及拥有吸毒工具和酒后驾车。


在行动中,执法部门共缴获了73公斤的非法物品,包括可卡因、海洛因、氯胺酮、大麻和冰毒。这些毒品估计在街头价值2700万港元。当局指出,在被捕的人中,有12名年龄在20岁以下的年轻人,主要是因为拥有或贩卖危险毒品而被拘捕。其中最年轻的一个人是一名14岁的女学生,正在读中学二年级,她因为拥有大麻油和吸毒用具而被逮捕。


初步调查显示,毒品贩运团伙向青少年提供免费毒品,这些青少年随后会上瘾,并无法负担自己的供应。这些脆弱的个体被迫参与毒品贩运活动,并承担法律后果。


执法机构强烈呼吁市民,尤其是年轻人,不要参与非法活动,并及时报告与毒品相关的任何情况。
