A 16-year-old boy from Hong Kong was hired by a gang to smuggle and sell drugs in Macau, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Leng Kam Lon said during a special press conference yesterday.
According to Leng, the teenager surnamed Ho told the police that he has dropped out of school in Hong Kong.
According to Leng, the Judiciary Police were recently tipped off that someone had been hired by a Hong Kong gang to smuggle and sell drugs in night entertainment venues in Macau. After investigating, PJ officers identified Ho as the suspected drug pusher.
