Under the procedural guidance of the Obolon District Prosecutor’s Office in Kyiv, law enforcement officials charged a 39-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman with the illegal acquisition and possession of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances for the purpose of distribution.

The man was detained right outside a post office after receiving 1.2 kg of cannabis. The next day, another 4.7 kg of the same substance was seized from his accomplice. The investigation revealed that the suspects were shipping orders to buyers in packaging originally used for animal feed.
