Hong Kong customs seize HK$42M 'space oil' drug lab, arrest one

Hong Kong customs arrested a man and dismantled a drug workshop in Kam Tin, Yuen Long, seizing HK$42 million (US$5.3 million) of 'space oil' and a semi-automated production line capable of making 160,000 cartridges. The operation indicates a sophisticated local manufacturing capability, not just trafficking. The scale and automation suggest a significant organized-crime operation, though the full network remains unclear.
