Almost USD 5.16 million in drugs and illicit goods was seized during the month-long operation, police said.
Officers raided some 2,600 locations including discos, massage establishments and night clubs in an attempt to curb the illegal activities of triad societies.

Almost 500 of the arrested were from mainland China.
