Two middle school students were arrested by police on suspicions of using drugs near a playground in an apartment complex.
The Nowon Police Station stated on the 12th that they are investigating two middle school students, including A (15), for violating the Act on the Control of Narcotics (psychotropic substances). They are suspected of inhaling liquid marijuana around 9:10 p.m. on the 25th of last month near an apartment complex in Seoul.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's mobile patrol team discovered them running around and shouting, secured the New Recruit, and took them to the police station voluntarily. The case was later transferred to the Nowon Police Station.
Police reportedly secured liquid marijuana discarded by the students during a search of the scene. It has been determined that the two arrested middle school students are not under 14 years old and do not fall under the category of juvenile offenders who cannot be held criminally responsible.
The Nowon Police Station is investigating the details of the case, including the source of the drugs.
