Judiciary Police officers arrested two local men on suspicion of drug trafficking and drug taking after an operation in Macau on 2 March 2026.[1] The two were a 29-year-old driver surnamed Fong and a 27-year-old maintenance technician surnamed Ho, police spokesman Lei Chi Hou said.[2] Acting on a tip-off that the two were dealing drugs, officers stopped each of them in Macau’s northern district, Fong at about 11 am and Ho at about 8 pm.[3]

Officers found a packet of 2.33 grams of suspected cannabis buds, drug-taking tools and packaging equipment at Fong’s flat in the northern district.[4] A second packet weighing 0.75 grams of suspected cannabis buds was hidden in the helmet box of Ho’s motorcycle parked in the northern district, and his flat held an electronic scale and 100 small clear plastic bags for dividing and packing drugs.[3] Police also seized MOP1,000 and HK$1,000 from the two as suspected proceeds of drug sales.[2]

Laboratory tests confirmed the substance was cannabis, which the Judiciary Police valued at about MOP3,000.[1] Both men’s urine tests were positive for drugs and both said the cannabis was for their own use and for sale, police said.[1] The two were transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office for minor production and trafficking, illicit drug consumption and improper possession of utensils or equipment, while police kept tracing the source of the cannabis and other people involved.[1]
