On the street, methamphetamine goes for RMB 200 (USD 31.62) a gram. Based on that alone, the cache would have been worth millions of yuan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The car in question was a privately operated bus carrying cargo between Hamhung and Hyesan. The bus had passed through several vehicular and quarantine checkpoints before inspectors nabbed it with just four checkpoints left to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private buses have been suffering from plummeting earnings since North Korean authorities began restricting public movement in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the bus in question might have shouldered the risk of transporting the drugs, despite the authorities regarding such activity as \u201canti-socialist and non-socialist behavior.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The case may prompt authorities to strengthen controls on private buses, depending on the results of their investigation into the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pungso County branch of the Ministry of State Security has detained the driver and conductor of the bus for questioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the source said the investigation is running into trouble as both the drugs\u2019 sender and ultimate destination remain unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source reported that the people directly involved with the drugs have disappeared. He said the sender provided a fake name with an unconfirmed phone number, leaving only the innocent conductor in the proverbial hot seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source added that with North Korea\u2019s legal system launching tougher investigations on drug dealing, dealers are employing increasingly elaborate methods to do business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20220311-1\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korean authorities are conducting an investigation after discovering a huge cache of illegal narcotics in a vehicle entering the China-North Korea border region from the North Korean interior.
