Mr. A, an office worker, is suspected of repeatedly using methamphetamine at various accommodations in the Sinan-dong area of Buk-gu, Gwangju, from March 4 until recently.

According to the investigation, Mr. A contacted a drug dealer via the social media platform Telegram and purchased methamphetamine for his own use. So far, there is no evidence to suggest that he resold the drugs.

After receiving a tip-off related to drug use, the police launched an investigation and apprehended Mr. A the previous day. A preliminary drug reagent test conducted immediately after his arrest returned a positive result for drugs.

The police are investigating Mr. A to determine the exact method of drug procurement and whether there were additional instances of use. At the same time, they are expanding the investigation to track down the dealer and other higher-level suppliers who distributed the drugs via Telegram.
