Hong Kong police seize HK$120m of cocaine hidden in 3-tonne metal containers

Hong Kong police seized approximately HK$120 million worth of suspected cocaine hidden in three heavy-metal containers during a raid at a warehouse in Yuen Long. The operation took place on Friday night, where officers found three men attempting to open the containers. Each container was roughly 1.6 meters long, one meter wide, and 0.35 meters high, weighing around three tonnes. Investigators believe the drug syndicate used layers within the containers to block X-ray scans and avoid detection. Police later opened the containers and discovered 172 bricks of suspected cocaine, each weighing about 1 kilogram. The three arrested individuals, Pakistani nationals aged 28 to 35, were detained on suspicion of drug trafficking.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual report on a law enforcement action against a drug trafficking operation. It does not take a clear ideological stance, focusing instead on the procedural aspects of the seizure and the involvement of foreign nationals. There is no evident leaning toward any particular政治
