Hong Kong Customs Seizes Multi-Million Pound Ketamine Shipment at Airport; 25-Year-Old Arrested

Hong Kong Customs has achieved a significant breakthrough in its battle against drug trafficking by intercepting a substantial quantity of ketamine at Hong Kong International Airport. The seizure, which took place on January 5, involved approximately 9.5 kilograms of ketamine with an estimated value of HK$3.5 million.

Utilizing advanced risk assessment techniques, customs officials targeted an air parcel initially declared as containing construction materials. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the shipment concealed illegal substances within the packaging of three construction material bags. This smuggling method exemplifies the sophisticated tactics employed by modern traffickers.


The successful seizure represents a major victory for law enforcement authorities in their relentless efforts to combat drug trafficking. In addition to the confiscation, customs officers launched a thorough investigation, culminating in a controlled delivery operation on January 13 in Tuen Mun, a residential district in the New Territories.


As a result of the operation, a 25-year-old man suspected of being a key figure in the trafficking network was apprehended. The individual now faces grave charges of drug trafficking and is scheduled to appear before the Tuen Mun Magistrates' Courts on January 15.


This recent success underscores the unwavering commitment of Hong Kong Customs to maintaining the safety and security of the region by combating drug-related crimes. Such diligent efforts contribute towards creating a safer environment for the residents of Hong Kong and serve as a deterrent to those involved in illicit drug activities.



香港海關在機場截獲價值數百萬英鎊的氯胺酮貨物,逮捕25歲男子



香港海關在香港國際機場截獲一批重要的氯胺酮貨物,這是他們在打擊販毒行動中的一次重大突破。這次截獲行動發生在1月5日,涉及約9.5公斤氯胺酮,估計價值350萬港元。


海關官員運用先進的風險評估技術,對一個被聲稱包含建築材料的航空包裹進行了目標監控。在仔細檢查後,發現該貨物在三個建築材料袋的包裝中隱藏了非法物品。這種走私方式體現了現代販毒者使用的複雜策略。


這次成功的截獲對於執法機構在打擊販毒行動中是一次重大勝利。除了扣押貨物外,海關人員展開了一項深入調查,並在1月13日在新界屯門進行了一次受控運送行動。


該行動導致了一名25歲男子的逮捕,該男子被懷疑是販毒網絡中的重要人物。該嫌疑人現面臨嚴重的販毒指控,並將在1月15日出庭受審,接受屯門裁判法院的審問。


這次的成功行動凸顯了香港海關在維護該地區安全和安保方面的不懈努力,打擊毒品犯罪行為。這樣的勤奮努力有助於為香港居民創造更安全的環境,並對那些從事非法販毒活動的人起到威懾作用。
