A 61-year-old Chinese citizen was detained at Man Kam Customs in China. Hong Kong, while trying to leave the territory with 510,000 contraband electronic components.
Among his goods, the Chinese kept processors, SSDs, cell phones and laptops.

The devices were stored in at least 30 wooden crates inside the container of his truck.
He labeled the boxes as display panels, which are taxed less overseas.
“This is the largest land-based smuggling case since 2018,” said Chief Inspector Wong Chi-man of the Customs’ Cargo Handling and Vehicle Division.
The truck driver was arrested and released on bail pending further investigation, as it is possible that he is just a carrier hired to transport the goods.
