HONG KONG (AP) — The Hong Kong customs department said Tuesday it had seized methamphetamine that could be worth about $5.9 million in the market after its officers uncovered the drug hidden in electrical transformers.
The consignment containing about 76 kilograms of crystal meth from Mexico was in transit at Hong Kong International Airport en route to Australia.
During an inspection Friday, the officers found the haul concealed inside false compartments inside three transformers, a department news release said. An investigation was underway.
