Five foreign women aged between 21 and 48 were arrested for suspected drug trafficking offences on July 29 in the Changi Airport Terminal 4 transit area.
The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said on July 31 that officers found about 26.9kg of cocaine and 10g of cannabis in the luggage belonging to two of the women, aged 21 and 32.
CNB officers arrested the two women when they were exchanging suitcases. Cocaine was later found hidden in stuffed toys in the suitcases.
The arrest was made after an exchange of intelligence between CNB and the Narcotics Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force.
Anyone found guilty of trafficking over 30g of cocaine can be given the mandatory death penalty.
