Police Arrest and Send to Prosecution 20s Male and Female Possessing '10,000 Dosage Units' of Drugs

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man and woman in their 20s caught by the police for possessing a large quantity of methamphetamine and marijuana have been handed over to the prosecution.

According to the police on the 25th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul sent them to prosecution under arrest on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.

They were caught in the act on the 16th at around 12:30 a.m. while possessing 280g of methamphetamine and marijuana powder in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle parked on a street in Gangnam-gu. This amount is reported to be enough for about 10,000 doses.

Police received a 112 report stating, "Someone is giving cash in exchange for white powder in an envelope from the vehicle," and caught the two as they tried to flee. When police officers carefully examined a plastic pouch placed on the back seat of the vehicle, the two tried to hide it by claiming it was a "friend's item." The police applied for an arrest warrant, and the court issued the warrant on the 18th.

The police are investigating whether the two have used drugs and the source of the drugs.
