HONG KONG POLICE SEIZE HK$5 MLN WORTH OF "ICE" AND HEROIN

HONG KONG, (Reuters) - Police seized about HK$5 million
($645,486) worth of the drugs "ice" and heroin and arrested a man and
a woman in a drug bust in Hong Kong's busy tourist district, police
said on Sunday.

Police said in a statement that they seized the drugs and arrested a
20- year-old man in a Saturday ambush on busy Nathan Road in the Tsim
Sha Tsui tourist area of Kowloon. A 20-year old woman turned herself
in later on Saturday.

The operation is believed to have smashed a drug-trafficking
operation, the statement said.

The haul comprised about nine kilograms of "ice", the street name for
the drug methamphetamine, and 730 grams of heroin.
