A man from Hong Kong was arrested early yesterday morning at the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal for smuggling cocaine, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Ho Chan Nam announced at a special press conference yesterday.
The suspect is a 26-year-old warehouse worker surnamed Cheng, according to Ho.
Ho said that Cheng arrived at the ferry terminal after midnight. After passing through immigration, he was stopped by a customs officer for inspection. Cheng reacted by hurriedly taking a bag out of his pocket and then throwing it on the ground.
