Dear Hugo,
Your request under Code on Access to Information was received on 16
November 2023.
As we do not have readily available information regarding number of people
arrested at Hong Kong ports of entry relating to drug offences, we are
unable to provide your requested information from questions one to three.
However, you may make reference to the Appendices of our Departmental
Reviews
([1]https://www.customs.gov.hk/en/publicatio...)
which the number of arrests under Dangerous Drugs Ordinance could be
found.
On the other hand, you may also approach Hong Kong Police Force
([2]https://www.access.gov.hk/en/howtomakein...) for
the relevant enforcement statistics under their purview.
Thank you.
Regards,
Daniel CHU
