6th April 2020

Frozen meat smuggling to Mainland China remains frequent despite multiple operations conducted by customs and marine police this year. An operation in January resulted in the death of three customs officers, the highest number of deaths in the line of duty per incident in the past four decades.

According to FactWire’s investigation, smuggling syndicates operate daily. They transport goods in refrigerated containers to Yau Ma Tei and Stonecutters Island then move the goods onto barges that sail into the waters off Hong Kong International Airport’s third runway construction site. The goods are then loaded onto speedboats from the mainland waiting off the waters near the construction site.
