Hong Kong customs officers have arrested three suspects and confiscated 500kg (1,102lbs) of cannabis buds with an estimated street value of HK$130 million (US$16.7 million) from a sea shipment of soybeans from Canada, pushing the total amount of the drug seized this year to 2.6 tonnes.
The Customs and Excise Department said on Wednesday the 2.6 tonnes of marijuana seized in the first nine months of this year represented an increase of more than 80 per cent compared with the amount discovered during the same period in 2023.
