The suspects, including a 25-year-old student from Fukuoka, were found with 100 e-cigarette-like drug devices, intended for sale at 10,000 to 30,000 yen each. The drugs were discovered by customs at Fukuoka Airport in May. The investigation led to the arrests when the parcels were traced back to the suspects&#8217; address. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/lnews\/fukuoka\/20240731\/5010025161.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fnn_e-cigarette-like-drug-nhk_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Three Vietnamese Men Arrested for Smuggling E-cigarette Drugs\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-164861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fnn_e-cigarette-like-drug-nhk_2024_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fnn_e-cigarette-like-drug-nhk_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fnn_e-cigarette-like-drug-nhk_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fnn_e-cigarette-like-drug-nhk_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
