Hong Kong police arrested a 28-year-old man and seized HK$20 million (US$2.55 million) worth of suspected cocaine during an anti-drug trafficking operation on Saturday in Sha Tin. The raid, conducted at a village house, followed an investigation that revealed the location was being used to store illicit drugs. Officers intercepted the suspect outside the premises and discovered three packets of suspected cocaine on his person. A subsequent search of the house uncovered an additional 24 packs of suspected cocaine, each weighing approximately 1kg. Police believe the operation prevented the drugs from reaching the market.
