The substance was discovered by a customs official concealed in a package that had travelled from outside to Japan. The two people were taken into custody when detectives from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department raided the hotel listed as the package’s delivery address.
Little else is known about the incident yet, although Michibata’s modelling agency has released a brief statement.
“We apologise to everyone for any concern the reports of Jessica Michibata, which belongs to our company, have caused,” reads the Revive statement.
“We are currently unable to contact Michibata directly and we are collecting information to confirm the facts.
“Since the incident is under investigation by the police, we will refrain from disclosing any further details.”
While Jessica is yet to comment publicly on her arrest, her sister Karen Michibata – who is also a model – took to Instagram to express her concern.

“However, if the reports are true, it is something that should not have happened. I know very little at this point, and I am sorry to have to make this post.”
