Lagi kes penumpang dari KL sorok kokain dalam kasut ditahan di Hong Kong
Kastam Hong Kong berkata dadah dirampas itu dianggarkan bernilai HKD600,000 (kira-kira RM311,000).
Hong Kong Customs officials seized approximately 1kg of cocaine hidden in a man's shoes upon his arrival from Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday. The 36-year-old man was detained during the screening of incoming passengers on Wednesday. Police found roughly 1kg of powdered cocaine in the suspect's shoes before his arrest. The seized drug is estimated to be worth HKD600,000 (around RM311,000), and the investigation is ongoing according to the Hong Kong Customs website statement.
This incident follows several similar cases, including a recent arrest of a 29-year-old Chinese man in Hong Kong who attempted to smuggle 1kg of cocaine hidden in his shoes upon arrival from Kuala Lumpur on September 16. Two other incidents in July 7 and 15 also involved the seizure of around 1kg of cocaine from passengers arriving from Kuala Lumpur.
Two more passengers from Kuala Lumpur were detained on May 17 with 820g and 800g of cocaine hidden in their shoes. Hong Kong Customs urges the public not to accept offers or instructions from others to bring controlled items into or out of Hong Kong to avoid financial rewards. The Dangerous Drugs Ordinance Hong Kong permits a maximum life imprisonment and a fine of HKD5 million (around RM2.59 million) for those found guilty of drug trafficking.
