Updated at 5.54pm: A 47-year-old expatriate man was sentenced to eight years jail on Wednesday after being convicted of manufacturing dangerous drugs.
The Court of First Instance on Wednesday handed out the sentence to the man, who had pleaded guilty to one court of manufacturing dangerous drugs on June 30, 2005.
The court heard that police officers arrested him during a raid at a fish raft in Sai Kung on December 10, 2004.
On the raft in Yung Shue O, officers discovered 350 litres of a brownish liquid stored in seven buckets. This was used to conceal the dangerous drugs. A large quantity of chemicals and some chemical equipment were also found.
Three other men, aged 42 to 45, were arrested in connection with the case.
They were later charged with one count of conspiracy to manufacture dangerous drugs.
