Three acquaintances of 'drug-taking bus driver' sent... Philopon co-administration

Instead of collecting drugs left in designated areas... 1 to 2 crimes each

(Ansan = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Ji-won = A driver in his 40s who was sentenced to prison for driving a city bus while under the influence of Philopon and his acquaintances who had taken drugs were handed over to the Public Prosecution Office one after another.

Ansan Danwon Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 28th that it had sent two people, including Mr. A, in his 40s, without detention to the Ansan Branch of the Suwon Regional Public Prosecutors' Office on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act (selling and administering drugs). Another acquaintance, who is an accomplice, is also scheduled to be sent on the 29th.

They are suspected of purchasing and administering methamphetamine together with Mr. B, a city bus driver in his 40s of Chinese nationality, at residences and vehicles in Danwon-gu, Ansan-si between June and July.

As a result of the investigation, it was revealed that Mr. B took the lead in purchasing methamphetamine, ordered them to retrieve the drug from a designated location, and took the drug with them after completing the work.

It was found that each of the acquaintances of Mr. B met with Mr. B individually and committed the crime once or twice. However, unlike Mr. B, they were identified as workers in general occupations rather than work directly related to the safety of an unspecified number of people.

In the process of investigating Mr. B's drug use and drug driving charges, the police analyzed his cell phone and account details to uncover their crimes.

Previously, Mr. B was arrested and indicted on charges of taking Philopon 13 times from the end of May to mid-July and driving a city bus, and was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison and a fine of 700,000 won at the Ansan Branch of the Suwon District Court on the 14th of this month.
