Police of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said Sunday they have seized about 20 million Hong Kong dollars (about 2.56 million U.S. dollars) worth of drugs and arrested three men in relation to drug trafficking.
Local radio RTHK quoted police officers as saying that most of the drugs, cocaine and "Erimin 5," were found at a mini-storage facility located inside an industrial building in Kwai Chung, an urban area within Tsuen Wan New Town in the New Territories of Hong Kong.
Erimin is a brand name of nimetazepam, an intermediate-acting hypnotic drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative.
The police later arrested two more men in Tsuen Wan suspected of being responsible for recruiting drug distributors and buyers. The police believed the suspects are using 24-hour mini-warehouses to store drugs and then retrieving them whenever they make a sale.
