Furniture held pot; cops bag four

YOKOHAMA (Kyodo)

Four men have been arrested in a drug bust at a warehouse in Kanagawa Prefecture that netted a record 100 kg of cannabis resin - in apparent violation of the Hemp Control Act, police said Thursday.

Police said the four, all Japanese, were arrested Tuesday when they came to the warehouse in Sagamihara to pick up imported furniture in which the drug, with a reported street value of Y800 million, was hidden.

The drug was the largest amount of cannabis resin in a single seizure in Japan.

According to police, the furniture arrived at Yokohama port aboard a freighter from Indonesia earlier this month.
