Five people were arrested, both Peruvian nationals, ranging in age from 44 to 48. The five men are suspected of smuggling 5 grams of cocaine worth 5 million yen at a street price.
One of the suspects is believed to be linked to a Mexican drug cartel, and the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the suspicion that he was also trafficking cocaine. This is the first time since the Heisei era that the Metropolitan police Department has arrested cocaine for smuggling for sale. It is not known if the suspects are related to each other.
