A High Court judge has declared three houses represent the proceeds of crime due to being linked to cannabis production.

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) sought the orders under section 3.1 of the Proceeds of Crime Act in proceedings against Luk Yau Kwok, Weizhong Zhang and Ms Huijuan Xu, the wife of Mr Zhang.
