A man and a woman who were wandering the streets under the influence of drugs were caught by the police following a citizen's report.
The Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station announced on the 27th that they have applied for arrest warrants for a Korean man and a Thai woman, a couple in their 30s, on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act.
They were arrested by police who responded to a citizen's report after wandering the streets of Suwan District, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, around 9 p.m. on the 25th while under the influence of drugs.
The police received reports of people dangerously walking on the road, staggering or moving up and down the street.
The police conducted a simple test, judging that although there was no smell of alcohol, their behavior was abnormal, and confirmed a positive reaction to methamphetamine.
They reportedly stated to the police that they purchased about 300,000 won worth of methamphetamine from an unidentified seller through the internet messenger Telegram.
The police are also tracking down the group involved in selling or delivering the methamphetamine.
