Customs have arrested a woman after officers found 25 kilos of suspected ketamine in her checked-in luggage at Hong Kong International Airport on Thursday.

During airport clearance, officers found the suspected drugs concealed in food packages. The 39-year-old had flown into Hong Kong from Prague, via Seoul.

Customs put the street value of the suspected drugs at about HK$10 million.

The case will be brought up at Kwun Tong Magistrates' Courts on Saturday.
