Secretary for Security Wong Sio Chak said yesterday that the police have noted that the number of Hong Kong people smuggling drugs into Macau has been on the rise since the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) in late October last year.
Wong made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an annual community day hosted by the Public Security Police (PSP) in Praça do Tap Seac.
The event marked the 328th anniversary of the establishment of the police force on March 14, 1691.
