Hong Kong customs officers have arrested a suspected triad member and seized more than HK$30 million (US$3.8 million) worth of cannabis buds in a crackdown on a newly established illegal drug storage centre in the New Territories.

Investigations revealed the storage facility in the ground-floor flat of a two-storey house at Kam Tsin Village in Sheung Shui went into operation last week and the 159kg consignment was moved in several days before being uncovered on Thursday morning, according to a customs official.
