SAITAMA — A joint Saitama and Gunma prefectural police task force sent documents on a Brazilian national facing trial to prosecutors on March 8, accusing him of additional offenses including violating the Cannabis Control Act by allegedly trafficking marijuana at his home, using different colored lights on his porch to signal customers.

The move by police brings their investigation into the case to a close, the joint task force said.

The 28-year-old man reportedly admitted to the allegations and told investigators, “It’s all true.”

According to police, the light on his front porch was lit blue when he was available for trafficking, and red when he wasn’t.

Saitama Prefectural Police’s drug and firearms division said he contacted customers in advance via social media and then handed over drugs at his doorstep. It is believed that he made tens of millions of yen in sales, at a conservative estimate, through trafficking, which he used to purchase brand-name goods and cars.
