8.4 kg of heroin hidden in durians seized by Hong Kong customs; three men arrested.
Hong Kong customs seized 8.4 kg of heroin hidden in a shipment of durians from Malaysia, leading to the arrest of three men. The suspected drug syndicate attempted to disguise the drugs as dry ice in foam boxes with the fruit. If convicted, the maximum penalty is a HK$5 million fine and life imprisonment under Hong Kong's Dangerous Drugs Ordinance. This year, drug confiscations from air travellers increased by 32% to 370 kg at Hong Kong International Airport in the first four months.
