In Shepetivka, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, police officers apprehended a 43-year-old local woman who was selling PVP (“salts”), a particularly dangerous psychotropic substance. Law enforcement officers documented several instances of synthetic drug sales, and the woman was arrested during the most recent incident.

According to the investigation, the 43-year-old Shepetivka resident was selling synthetic drugs to drug-addicted residents of the city.

During an authorized search of the suspect’s residence, police seized a cell phone, SIM cards, and drug paraphernalia.

Investigators from the Shepetivka District Police Department have already notified the woman that she is suspected of violating Part 2 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—the illegal acquisition, possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of a particularly dangerous psychotropic substance, committed as a repeat offense.
