Man arrested for alleged drug trafficking and use

A 27-year-old Filipino non-resident worker was arrested by the Judiciary Police (PJ) for allegedly trafficking and consuming drugs, authorities announced yesterday. Police seized around 213 grams of e-cigarette oil containing synthetic cannabinoids, with an estimated black-market value of MOP31,000. Officers intercepted the suspect in Macau’s central district on Monday morning and found three drug-laced vape cartridges on him. A subsequent search of his residence uncovered three additional cartridges, packaging tools, and drug-taking paraphernalia. PJ believes the suspect mainly sold drugs to fellow Filipinos and said investigations into the drug source are ongoing.
