Police crackdown during Kenting's "Spring Scream" yesterday yielded three drug abuse cases and 45 persons arrested at drug parties near Kenting.
Thousands of music fans and partygoers showed up in the very popular tourist destination in Hengchun Peninsula in southern Taiwan over the weekend to experience one of the biggest music festivals in Taiwan.
On Saturday alone, the annual event attracted nearly 200,000 people to Kenting, local media estimated. Pingtung County Police Bureau said they broke into the first drug party in a private house in Hengchun Township at 1:40 a.m. yesterday, arresting eight males and four females. The police found amphetamine, marijuana, and Ketamine at the private house.
"When the police rushed into the house, the interior was filled with white smoke and loud music blared. People inside the house did not notice the raid by the police and, in fact, were not clear as to what was happening," the police was quoted as saying in the United Evening News.
The police said the house owner surnamed Chou denied any involvement in the drug party, but the police suspected Chou played a part in organizing the illegal gathering.
According to the police, the second drug party, which was raided at around 2 a.m. yesterday, was in a private house in Manchou Township, and a total of 18 males and 13 females were arrested. According to the police, the crowd was so shocked and taken by surprise when the law enforcement officers arrived, many of them dropped their drinks and screamed.
The police added that they arrested two people smoking Ketamine in the parking lot outside the Hengchun Airport yesterday.
Hengchun Police Chief Fang Chao-tsung said that for some drug party enthusiasts, the "Spring Scream" has turned Kenting into a Mecca for yearly pilgrimage. But these people don't actually take part in the music festival.

Because the police are nothing but feared. Caution, as america becomes more like its ideological enemies.

Taiwan, not China.
