52 foreigners held in police drugs raid
Print Edition
POLICE in south China’s Guangdong Province said yesterday they had detained 50 foreigners in the southern city of Shenzhen at the weekend on suspicion of taking drugs.
Officers said they were responding to reports of drug-taking at a tunnel under a road in the city’s Nanshan District. Among the 491 people taken away for investigation, 118 had tested positive for drugs, mostly marijuana.
Police later placed 93 people, including 50 foreign nationals, in administrative detention for a maximum of 15 days.
Police also detained two suspected drug dealers, both of whom were said to be foreign nationals, on criminal charges.
“Foreigners accounted for over half of the detainees, which suggests a serious problem of drug use among foreigners in Shenzhen,” said a police officer who declined to be named.
The tunnel, nicknamed the “IKEA Bridge Culvert” due to its proximity to an IKEA store, is known for its regular gatherings of foreigners.
