Police say the two held two tablets containing MDMA and ketamine components, two gummy-shaped LSD items and a small amount of dried cannabis, all kept in bags.[1][2][4][5][9] Police have not disclosed whether the two men admitted or denied the allegations.[1][2][4][5][8][9]

Camp Asaka said it would cooperate fully with the police investigation and deal strictly based on the facts that become clear.[1][2][4][5][8][9]

Tateyama Police Station of the Chiba Prefectural Police had arrested the men on suspicion of violating the Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Law.[10] The case came to light when firefighters responding to an emergency call about a person who had fallen near the scene told police that two men were taking LSD.[10]
