Hong Kong police recently dismantled a drug ring, seizing HK$475 million ($61 million) worth of cocaine from two flats and arresting a 27-year-old suspect who had rented one of the properties for drug storage. The narcotics bureau revealed that the suspect was lured by promises of cash and had only been operating the storage facility for approximately two weeks. In a separate incident, Malaysian authorities arrested a 64-year-old Singaporean man and a 48-year-old Malaysian, seizing RM21.8 million ($6.5 million) worth of drugs from a traditional medicine shop believed to be a front for the syndicate. Police in both regions have cautioned landlords to be vigilant of potential tenants who may use properties for drug-related activities. The Hong Kong operations were part of a broader crackdown, as police noted that such syndicates often exploit private flats for drug distribution. Investigators are continuing to monitor these criminal activities to prevent further drug trafficking.
