[Reporter]
It is an apartment in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul, at 7 a.m.

A man in a hat goes across the parking lot toward the flower bed and crouchs down.

I buried something for a long time, and it was none other than a liquid hemp cartridge.

The criminal was found to have buried drugs throughout the apartment flower beds, including here, using a trowel.

The police, who were dispatched after receiving a report from a resident who was going to play soccer early, arrested a man in his 20s who was wandering in the flower bed.

Police who checked CCTV searched the flower beds of the apartment and found about 10 liquid hemp cartridges wrapped in balloons and insulating tape were buried here and there.

[Hwang In-jun / Apartment security guard: When the police sold (the land), I would show them a flashlight and do that. It was piled up with black plastic. Not a drop of water will go in.]

Mr. A committed the crime using the so-called 'burying' method, in which the buyer visits when the drug is buried in the ground.

[Apartment resident] I'm worried. Huge amounts of drugs.... I'm worried because they put it in our apartment, but I caught it for now.]

At the time of arrest, A was said to have been in a state of loosening and dim pupils, but a simple test showed negative results.

The police arrested Mr. A on charges of transporting drugs and asked the National Forensic Service to conduct a detailed examination of drugs.

We are also investigating the superiors who ordered the transportation of drugs.

At the same time, the police are considering giving rewards to reporters and awarding letters of appreciation.
