Crime | Two men arrested for selling cannabis online

The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested two people for selling marijuana on a social networking site. The two suspects are Polish and Nigerian nationals, both of whom hold Macau residence cards.
The case caught the attention of Facebook users in Macau after a post was uploaded to the “Macau Online Market” page, stating: “Weed (cannabis) for sale in Taipa. 300 MOP per gram bag (will make 5-10 joints). Excellent quality from the Netherlands – satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Discount on bulk buys. Please PM :)” The post was accompanied by a picture of a bag of marijuana.
The post was deleted shortly after, but not before generating several deprecating comments. The author of the post was anonymously interviewed by newspaper Ponto Final, stating that the sale was not a joke: “I’m really selling, although people think it’s a joke.” He also said that he was not concerned with the local police: “They have thousands of traffic tickets to do and Filipino passports to inspect,” he said.
According to the PJ, both suspects were believed to have commenced operations one week ago, and have made two or three deals in the meantime.
