According to the Tainan City Police Department's Juvenile Division, a couple surnamed Chen and Wang used their residence in Annan District as a base to traffic drugs, using a car to 'deliver' narcotics across Tainan and Kaohsiung. On the 28th, police tracked the pair in Tainan's West Central District and arrested them as they exited their vehicle. Wang initially pretended to be a passerby, acting as if she did not know Chen, but was still apprehended. Police searched their Annan District home and a hideout in Kaohsiung's Hunei District, seizing 62.9g of heroin, 98.33g of amphetamines, and 159.75g of etomidate, with a market value exceeding NT$1 million. Two men who had just used drugs and were preparing to drive away were also arrested at the Kaohsiung hideout. Both Chen and Wang tested positive for drugs. The police transferred the case to prosecutors on charges of drug trafficking and public endangerment.
