On June 12, 2024, the criminal investigation team intercepted a parcel from the US containing 16 kilograms of marijuana (worth about $50 million) disguised as 'Christmas decorations', leading to the arrest of a drug trafficking group with members from the 'Double Northern Sworn Alliance' and the 'Heaven's Way Gang'. Among the 8 individuals arrested, two were terminal cancer patients, one of whom was released due to critical condition. The main suspect, Lin, funded the operation while the mastermind, Jiang, planned the drug trafficking involving the cancer patients who were desperate for the $500,000 reward before their deaths. Despite most being detained, one was granted bail due to health reasons. The case revealed a complex network of drug trafficking involving terminally ill patients and organized crime groups.
