A 53-year-old taxi driver from Itoshima, believed to have purchased the drugs, was also arrested for possession and use. Police seized cannabis, stimulants, and other illegal substances valued at roughly ¥3.85 million from the homes of the buyer and two acquaintances of the main suspect, both of whom were additionally arrested.
