Flores, a tourist, is charged with attempting to export prohibited articles,
namely 10,000 tablets of pharmaceutical products, from the Tsim Sha Tsui Post
Office on Middle Road, TST East on June 15 last year.
She is also accused with Singgon of attempting to export,
without licence, another 400,000 tablets of pharmaceutical products from a fourth
floor room in Chiu Tat Factoy Bldg in San Po Kong on the same day.
The third charge against the two, possession of Part 1
poison, arose from 400,000 tablets containing poison, which were seized from
them at the factoy building on the same day.
During the investigation, Singgon was later found to have overstayed for two years. She had been a domestic helper who was given until June 4, 2022 to leave Hong Kong, having been teminated two weeks earlier.
