Four women caught with 'zombie smoke bombs' and drugs after erratic driving stop

Police in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, stopped a car carrying four women late at night due to its unstable driving. The occupants appeared nervous and attempted to conceal items as officers approached.

The driver claimed they were out because she couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with friends. However, officers noticed an unknown powder in the car. When asked to exit, the women feigned ignorance, asking what they had done wrong.

Drug tests on the powder revealed a positive reaction for etomidate. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered etomidate vape cartridges, vape oil, and methamphetamine. All four women were taken into custody and sent to the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office for investigation under the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act.

Authorities are also awaiting lab results from urine tests for the driver to determine if she was driving under the influence of drugs. If positive, she will face additional charges for endangering public safety. The police department highlighted their ongoing efforts, noting they have already handled nearly 200 drug-related cases this year and are intensifying checks to maintain public safety and traffic order.
