Hong Kong police have made their biggest ever cocaine bust, seizing more than 1,200 pounds of the drug worth about $77 million and arresting eight people.
Narcotics bureau officers acting on a tip carried out raids at a suburban warehouse and other locations across the city starting Friday, police said Monday. The five men and three women arrested included five Mexican nationals, an American and a Colombian.
The Mexicans and the American were charged with drug trafficking and appeared in court Monday. They did not enter pleas or apply for bail and the case was adjourned until Nov. 14, local broadcaster RTHK said.
