Hong Kong Customs detected a drug trafficking case involving two mainland male passengers at Hong Kong International Airport on October 10, seizing about 5 kilograms of suspected cannabis buds valued at roughly $1 million.
Both men, aged 58 and 59, arrived from Manila, were arrested and jointly charged with one count of trafficking in a dangerous drug, with the case scheduled for the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on October 12.
Customs said it will continue to step up enforcement against drug trafficking through intelligence analysis and a risk‑assessment approach that focuses on passengers from high‑risk regions.
