At about 11pm on Friday, officers found several men loading some cartons from the seashore near the mangrove in Deep Bay Road in Lau Fau Shan onto a motorised sampan and a wooden vessel. When the officers approached, the suspects fled.
The officers seized a carton of goods on the seashore and another 51 cartons of goods in three wooden vessels were found hidden inside the mangrove. No arrests were made.
