Second daughter of Hong Kong actor Richard Ng arrested over marijuana, days after sister caught up in HK$1 million bust

Another daughter of Hong Kong actor Richard Ng Yiu-hon was arrested on Friday night after customs officers allegedly uncovered marijuana during a raid on her home, making her the second of the long-time star’s children to be brought in over the drug in less than a week.

The authorities are now investigating whether the small amount of cannabis was linked to the woman’s eldest sister, who was arrested days before for allegedly growing marijuana inside her Sai Kung home, where officers seized some HK$1 million (US$129,000) worth of plants and cannabis-infused chocolates.

At around 10pm on Friday, officers acting on intelligence broke down the door of the younger woman’s flat in a three-storey house in Nam Wai Village. Veteran actor Ng later arrived at the scene with his wife and a female lawyer, covering his face with black veil and an umbrella in an attempt to avoid being photographed.

A customs source with knowledge of Friday’s raid said officers found around 21 grams of tea leaves infused with cannabis and 2 grams of marijuana in a drawer in the living room. They believed the drugs were for personal use given the small amount, and officers also spotted evidence of cannabis consumption at the scene.

“We earlier received separate intelligence on the possible drugs in this flat. We are investigating if she and the drugs were linked to the elder sister’s case,” the insider said, adding that the sisters lived in separate houses in the same village.

The 52-year-old was released on bail on Saturday morning pending further investigation. Her older sister, 54, has also been released on bail. Ng, 81, also has one more younger daughter and a son.
