Hong Kong Customs detects a case involving possession of suspected "space oil drug" by passenger

Hong Kong Customs today (February 18) detected a case involving possession of etomidate (the main ingredient of "space oil drug"), under the Dangerous Drug Ordinance, from an incoming passenger at the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan. Two vape sticks containing suspected "space oil drug" were seized.

A 30-year-old male passenger arrived Hong Kong from Shenzhen today. During Customs clearance, two vape sticks containing suspected "space oil drug" were found on him and his baggage. The man was subsequently arrested. The arrested person, claimed to be an architect, will appear at the Eastern Magistrates' Courts tomorrow (February 19).

Customs will continue to step up the enforcement and combat against the trafficking of "space oil drug".

Under the Dangerous Drug Ordinance, trafficking in a dangerous drug is a serious offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $5 million and life imprisonment.

Members of the public may report any suspected drug trafficking activities to Customs' 24-hour report hotline 182 8080 or its dedicated crime reporting email account (crimereport@customs.gov.hk) or online form (eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/ced002).
