In total, a record 12,387 people were arrested last year, 1,761 more than in in 2021.
The special control is part of the chief of National Police Agency Yoon Hee-keun’s plan to eradicate drug-related crimes in the once touted “drug-free” nation. During the police’s crackdown to curb cyberspace crimes, 1,495 people were caught, a 39.5 percent increase from the same period in 2021. Among them, 533 were for drug trades made using hard-to-track technology channels, such as the dark web and cryptocurrency.
