The Judiciary Police (PJ) has arrested a 22-year-old woman from Hong Kong for drug trafficking and drug abuse, a PJ spokesperson said during a special press conference at the PJ headquarters yesterday.

According to the spokesperson, the woman, surnamed Leung, was entering Macau via the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal on Sunday night when she was stopped by Macau Custom Service officers as she looked “spaced out”.

While searching Leung, the officers found a purse in her underwear containing 23.8 grammes of Ice, 3 grammes of cocaine and two Happy 5 pills. The drugs were worth 69,000 patacas, according to the spokesperson.
