Customs and Excise Department officers arrested a 48-year-old mainland Chinese man after finding about 5.5kg of suspected crack cocaine in his hand luggage during clearance at Hong Kong International Airport on November 12. He had arrived from Manila.
Customs evidence photographs showed the drugs packaged to look like chocolate snacks, with pressed lines to make them appear more realistic. Their estimated value was about HK$6 million.
The Customs and Excise Department said the case remained under investigation.
