Liquid Cocaine as massage oil
HONG KONG Customs recently seized about 760 grams of liquid cocaine with a market value of about USD 800,000 at Hong Kong International Airport.
The drug was found in a parcel from Brazil to Hong Kong, which was declared to contain massage oil. A Customs officer at the airport suspected that the two massage oil plastic bottles contained liquid cocaine.
A man who was expecting a parcel actually got handcuffs from the Customs. The 32-year-old arrested man will be charged with trafficking in dangerous drug.
Under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, drug trafficking is a serious offence for which the maximum penalty is life imprisonment and a fine of USD 5 million.
