Soldier Caught Bringing Marijuana into Dormitory via Parcel Delivery

Soldiers who brought marijuana into an army unit in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, were caught.

According to the army on the 26th, six soldiers including Sergeant A are suspected of receiving marijuana by courier recently and sharing it within the unit (violation of the Narcotics Control Act).

After receiving related reports, the military searched the soldiers' barracks and secured marijuana from lockers and the ceiling of the barracks, and the individuals involved were criminally charged. One person who has already been discharged is under investigation by the police.

When packages are brought into the unit, if there is suspicion, the contents are checked with the consent of the recipient. However, in the case of narcotics, they were mostly brought in mixed with food items such as protein supplements or snacks in granular form, making identification difficult.

A military official said, "To block the inflow of narcotics into the military, we are paying special attention from the command level, designating dedicated investigation units, and strengthening surprise inspection activities," adding, "We will review if there are any additional measures to be supplemented."
