Hong Kong police have smashed a syndicate that used provocatively dressed foreign women to sell drugs at pubs and entertainment venues, arresting three people and seizing HK$5.2 million (US$663,080) worth of narcotics.
The arrests came during an operation carried out on Friday to target the income sources of triad societies, Chief Inspector Man Cheuk-hei of the Kowloon East regional anti-triad unit said on Saturday.
“They also hired some foreign ladies in sexy clothes as their drug salespeople, hoping to easily push the drugs into the market and increase their drug-trafficking profits,” he said.
“They would also rent some old-style private units in areas crowded with pubs and entertainment venues as their drug distribution centres.”
Man said officers intercepted a foreign woman outside a private residential flat in Central on Friday evening, and while entering the premises to carry out a search, they simultaneously arrested a local man near the building.
Police seized about 7.2kg (15.9lbs) of cocaine and 500 grams of ketamine, methamphetamine and other drugs, with a market value of more than HK$5.2 million, he said.
