South Korean police, and the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, conducted joint raids. They found synthetic cannabis, “mixed liquids” used for vaping, and cash. The suspects are accused of using the U.S. military postal service to bring marijuana into South Korea. Among those charged were individuals alleged to have been sellers, middlemen, as well as users.<\/p>\n

South Korean police are investigating 17 US soldiers and five other people who allegedly smuggled or used synthetic marijuana via military mail.<\/p>\n

This follows raids in at least two US army bases in May, including Camp Humphreys, its largest overseas base.<\/p>\n

A Filipino and a South Korean have been arrested, while prosecutors review the cases against all 22 suspects.<\/p>\n

A tip from the US Army’s enforcement arm had sparked a four-month investigation by Korean authorities.<\/p>\n

It was one of the largest in recent years involving American soldiers, US media reported citing Cha Min-seok, a senior detective in South Korea.<\/p>\n

Joint raids by South Korean police and the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division found 77g (2.7oz) of synthetic cannabis, more than 4kg of “mixed liquids” used for vaping and a total of $12,850 (\u00a310,440) in cash at the 22 suspects’ homes.<\/p>\n

They are accused of smuggling synthetic marijuana – known by the street names K2 and Spice – into the country through the US military’s postal service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
