What? Hong Kong police raided a Yuen Long warehouse Friday night, catching three men cutting open two of three roughly 3-tonne heavy-metal containers lined with material meant to defeat X-ray scanning. Officers found 172 bricks of suspected cocaine, about 1kg each, valued at HK$120 million (roughly US$15.4 million). Three Pakistani nationals, aged 28 to 35, were arrested on suspicion of trafficking.
