Three secondary school pupils from an international school have been arrested on suspicion of trafficking cannabis in the form of "hash brownies" and "weed cupcakes" on Monday at a school sports day.
A 16-year-old British girl, her brother, 15, and a Croatian girl, 17, are accused of selling the drug-laced food to schoolmates during the event at Tsing Yi Sports Ground, New Territories.
Police - who refused to divulge the name of the school or the address of the trio - confiscated 27 small cakes at the event.
"About 10 cakes had been sold. We are looking for the buyers," one police source said.
It is believed the three suspects, who were released on bail, had posted messages on one of their Facebook pages and a smartphone app advising schoolmates that the cakes would be available during the sports day.
The case came to light when teachers confronted the trio and called police.
"The cakes were sold for HK$30 to HK$40 each," a source said. "The girl allegedly made the cakes at home alone," the source said, adding that she might have learned the recipe online. She lives with her parents and a younger brother.
Police searched their homes in the northern New Territories, but found no illegal drugs. An oven and baking powder were seized.
Police are now searching for a South Asian man, aged between 20 and 30, who is believed to have given about 10 grams of cannabis to the 16-year-old girl in Admiralty recently.
Police data shows the amount of cannabis seized in the first seven months of this year rose 77.5 per cent to 71kg, from 40kg in the same period last year.
