South Korean police said Tuesday an investigation into illegal drug use in Wonju has expanded to include four soldiers and two South Korean citizens.

Police last week questioned two Camp Long-based soldiers suspected of illegally using the animal tranquilizer ketamine with two South Korean civilians at an off-base apartment.

They also questioned one of the civilians, a woman married to one of the soldiers investigated Friday.

The other Korean civilian, a man identified only as Cho, 24, is being held in police custody.

During the questioning, a police spokesman said Tuesday on the customary condition of anonymity, police learned about two more soldiers who allegedly used the drug.
