A is suspected of having used new types of narcotics three times at his home in Dong-gu, Gwangju, from September last year until recently.


It was investigated that he purchased drugs from a foreign worker he met while working together at a construction site last year.



The police confirmed that A was an illegal immigrant and applied for an arrest warrant due to concerns over evidence destruction and flight risk.
