Hong Kong Police officers arrested a 43-year-old man and his daughter, 16, for trafficking 59.5 kilograms of cocaine worth around HK$51 million.
The two were arrested in a raid launched by police in a public housing unit in Kwai Chung on Sunday morning.
The father claimed to be a logistic worker and was believed to be engaging in delivering and trafficking drugs stored in his residential place with his daughter, a student who was suspected of distributing drugs in her school.
“It is believed that the batch of drugs was intended to be sent to local entertainment premises,” said Senior Inspector Tsang Hin-chiu of the police’s Narcotics Bureau.
