Hong Kong arrests 9 over fuel smuggling as oil prices surge

Hong Kong arrests nine people in a city-wide operation targeting illicit fuel activities, authorities say, as surging global oil prices continue to put pressure on the import-dependent financial hub. Authorities said they seized more than 30,000 liters of smuggled fuel worth more than HK$1 million (US$127,000) in September, arresting eight men and one woman.

Criminals are using modified cross-boundary trucks or private cars with enlarged fuel tanks to smuggle fuel through control points, Chong Sin-han, a senior investigator at the customs department, told reporters on Wednesday.
