Man arrested for drug trafficking
The Judiciary Police have arrested a 31-year-old Vietnamese foreign worker on suspicion of drug trafficking, seizing 2.92 grams of methamphetamine (ice) and five ecstasy pills with an estimated street value of MOP10,000.
Authorities also detained a 32-year-old mainland Chinese man suspected of purchasing drugs.
Following a tip-off, police staked out the suspect’s residence in the city’s central district early on July 8. They intercepted the two individuals during a drug transaction in the stairwell of the building.
The mainland man admitted to using drugs and revealed he bought 0.66 grams of methamphetamine for MOP5,000 through an acquaintance he met at a casino.
The Vietnamese suspect, however, refused to cooperate.
Further search in the corridor of the suspect’s residence uncovered the hidden drugs. Investigations indicate the suspect had been trafficking drugs for at least two weeks. lV
