Correctional officers intercept smuggling of suspected dangerous drug into Tai Lam Centre for Women
******************************************************************************************
The 25-year-old remand person in custody was remanded for the offence of trafficking in a dangerous drug on February 18. After undergoing X-ray body scanning, she was suspected to have swallowed the dangerous drug before admission. She was therefore separated and put under close monitoring. After discharging a pack of suspected dangerous drug wrapped in a plastic sheet last Friday (February 21), she further discharged three packs of suspected dangerous drug which were wrapped in plastic sheets and weighed about 38 grams in total at 11.02am today.
The case has been reported to the Police for follow-up.
A spokesman for the Correctional Services Department said, "The department takes every measure to stop the introduction of dangerous drugs or unauthorised articles into correctional institutions in order to maintain good order and discipline, and a drug-free environment for all persons in custody."
