American pilot arrested in Hong Kong after being sent one live round of ammunition and 9,000 blanks and spent cartridges in the post

An American pilot was arrested at his Hong Kong flat on Wednesday night after a live round, and more than 9,000 blank and spent cartridges.

Officers were called to a warehouse in Tsing Yi at 5.40pm on Wednesday, when staff at a logistics company found the haul when they opened the boxes for inspection.

“The haul contained one live round, more than 4,000 empty cartridges, and about 5,000 spent cartridges,” a police source said.

The boxes were brought back to the warehouse after being sent to the Kennedy Town home of the 44-year-old pilot.

A mistake? No kidding.
