HONG KONG: A 28-year-old model was arrested at Lo Wu Control Point yesterday after customs officers found drugs hidden in cookie boxes during a search on account of her suspicious behaviour.
The officers proceeded to open the woman’s plastic bags, which contained several boxes of what appeared to be traditional Chinese almond biscuits. After opening the boxes, authorities found a combined four kilograms of white powdered substances.
Oriental Daily reports that the substance is suspected to be methamphetamine (also known as ice), with a street value of about HKD1.32 mil.
The 28-year-old, who is unemployed except for occasionally acting as a “private model”, has been arrested for suspected trafficking of dangerous drugs.
The case is currently being investigated by a team at the Customs Drug Investigation Bureau.
