According to the spokesperson, the two suspects from Hong Kong are surnamed Chan and Lau, aged 19 and 22 respectively, both claiming to be unemployed. The two locals are a 39-year-old surnamed Tou, who works in public relations, and a 44-year-old surnamed Lei, who is a salesman.
The spokesperson said that the police received a tip-off a week ago about some people who had been hired by a Hong Kong drug gang to smuggle cocaine into the city.
