A man surnamed Wen was suspected of selling drugs while hiding in a private house in an alleyway in Pingtung City. The Gao City Criminal Police Brigade, together with the Pingtung Police, monitored the ambush and conducted a search with a search ticket. The police surrounded him, broke down the door and arrested him. They found two men including Wen Suan (35 years old) and Chen Suan (48 years old). They also seized more than 20 etomidate cartridges, electronic cigarettes and other evidence on the spot.

The Criminal Investigation Team stated today (2nd) that when investigating other cases, the Fourth Investigation Team found a drug trafficking group operating in Pingtung City and peddling etomidate and other drugs. After the case was monitored by the Criminal Investigation Team Four and the Pingtung Branch, a task force was formed to monitor the case. It was found that the drug trafficking group often gathered in this private house from time to time, with complex and frequent comings and goings. Relevant information obtained showed that they were all drug addicts.

Gao City police went to Pingtung City to conduct an investigation. On-site research determined the possibility of escaping to the back door. The task force adopted a front-to-back outflank approach and attacked east and west to break through the front door in pursuit. The suspect was led to escape through the back door. Wen and Wen were successfully seized there and in the open space at the back door. Chen 2 suspected that more than 20 etomidate cartridges, etomidate electronic cigarettes (containing etomidate e-liquid), 4 bottles of etomidate e-liquid, 1 pack of amphetamine, etomidate syringes, electronic scales, ziplock bags, and mobile phones were seized on the spot.

The two suspects denied drug trafficking and argued that they were taking it. Due to the evidence of drug abuse, the entire case was transferred to the Pingtung District Prosecutor's Office of Taiwan for investigation in accordance with the Drug Harm Prevention Regulations. The source and flow of the drugs in this case and other drug trafficking accomplices will continue to be pursued.

The Criminal Congress stated that a total of 546 drug dealers have been seized so far in January this year, 72 more than the 474 people in the same period last year, and the investigation energy has increased by 15.19%; the police will continue to strengthen the investigation of such cases. Drugs are very harmful to society. People should not come into contact with drugs out of greed or curiosity. Emerging drugs such as etomidate are often disguised as electronic cigarette cartridges, causing harm to social security and people's physical and mental health. The police will continue to vigorously crack down on drug crimes.
