Hong Kong Customs officers have arrested 10 individuals and seized around 240 kilos of suspected narcotics, with an estimated street value of HK$56 million, following a month-long international anti-trafficking operation. The enforcement drive ran from July 13 to August 17.

Those taken into custody are nine men and one woman, aged between 18 and 57. Senior Investigator from the Customs Drug Investigation Bureau’s Airport Investigation Group reaffirmed that the department would maintain close ties with overseas customs agencies through intelligence-sharing and joint missions, with the aim of tracing drug sources and combating cross-border trafficking networks.
