Hong Kong Customs arrested a 56‑year‑old mainland Chinese traveller on Monday, 26 October 2026, after discovering approximately 3 kg of suspected cannabis flowers in his carry‑on luggage at Hong Kong International Airport. The seized material is estimated to be worth about HK$600,000. The man had arrived from Bangkok, Thailand, and was undergoing routine customs clearance when officers found the cannabis. In addition to the suspected drug, customs officials seized a product believed to contain a controlled substance and seven untaxed cigarettes. The case is still under investigation. Customs officials urged the public not to engage in drug trafficking or accept offers to transport controlled items into or out of Hong Kong.
