Some English instructors at universities in Incheon and Gyeonggi Province have been arrested for using and selling drugs. The foreign affairs division of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency booked three Americans, including an English lecturer from a university in Incheon, for using and selling hashish (cannabis resin).

According to the police, between February and June the instructors had used or sold 15 grams of hashish provided by an unknown Pakistani.

Another instructor from the United Kingdom was also caught for keeping 13.3 grams of hashish, worth 3 million won, in his car.

They became acquainted with each other by working as part-time English instructors at universities in Incheon and Gyeonggi Province. The police are investigating further suspicions and tracking the supplier.
