     Hong Kong Customs yesterday (December 19) detected a suspected case of illegal importing of animal at the Man Kam To Control Point. One suspected illegally imported kitten with an estimated market value of about $1,000 was seized.

     Customs officers yesterday intercepted an incoming 39-year-old male passenger at the Arrival Hall of the said Control Point. Upon personal search, a kitten was found concealed inside a pocket affixed on his shirt, and he was subsequently arrested.

     The case has been handed over to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for follow-up investigation.

     Customs reminds the public that importing animals into Hong Kong without a valid permit is an offence.
