Hong Kong customs seizes HK$1.4b drugs, arrests 150 in summer crackdown

Hong Kong customs dismantled an international drug trafficking network, seizing 6.1 tonnes of narcotics worth HK$1.4 billion and arresting 150 people, with syndicates targeting students during summer. The operation relied on real-time intelligence sharing with overseas agencies, indicating cross-border coordination. This highlights a significant enforcement action but does not signal a shift in regional drug flows.
