The plot thickened in a drug trafficking case that's suspected to involve police officers. A second policeman was arrested with crystal meth on him.
The officers were reportedly part of a team that landed a record bust of methamphetamines in Yau Ma Tei earlier, that came in at nearly 300 kilograms.

Full Script:
It's emerged that more than one policeman is involved in suspected "drug dealing".
Authorities revealed late last night, they arrested another officer, a 31-year-old constable, in a Shek Kip Mei flat.
They seized 23 kilograms of crystal meth there.
Authorities believe he was working with a 41-year-old sergeant, who was arrested in a Tsim Sha Tsui hotel early Thursday morning with two kilos of the drug on him.
In that raid, authorities seized other drugs too - ketamine and cocaine - with a total worth of $1.4 million.
Sources say both policemen were from the anti-triad squad at the Kowloon West regional headquarters.
That team had seized nearly 300 kilograms of methamphetamines in Yau Ma Tei last week, worth $160 million.
It's the biggest haul in Hong Kong since 1991.
Now, police are believed to be looking at whether those suspects may have taken those drugs from a police evidence room to sell.
