Customs officers have arrested three men after finding more than 800 electronic goods concealed in the spare tyre and altered front doors of their seven-seat vehicle.

 

Officers intercepted the car at Man Kam To checkpoint about 9pm yesterday and found 680 hard-disks and 137 digital cameras worth $951,000.

 

The 41-year-old local male driver and two passengers - a local and a Mainlander - were arrested and have been released on bail.
