Police officers from the district police headquarters in Grójec, together with colleagues from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Radom, dismantled an organized criminal group involved in the production of drugs. They secured over 140 kilograms of drugs and a production line. Five suspects were detained and face up to 20 years in prison.
By surprise
The drug factory was hidden in an inconspicuous fruit farm in the Grójec commune. "The officers entered the farm and found completely surprised men engaged in illegal activities. As it turned out, the men had prepared for such a situation and had several automatic weapons with ammunition, but none of the men managed to reach for them," we read in the police report.
Five arrested
The action resulted in the arrest of 5 people suspected of participating in illegal activities. A factory with a production line and large quantities of components used to produce drugs was also closed. Almost 140 kilograms of mephedrone, 4 kilograms of amphetamine and several hundred grams of marijuana were seized on site, as well as "tens of kilograms of drugs in the final stage of production" and supplies of substances for the production of subsequent batches of drugs.
Million dollar business
According to the Police, "the value of drugs ready to be introduced to the market is several million zlotys, and further potential profits amount to millions from the funds generated by the production of prohibited substances."
The detainees are men aged 21-38, a Pole and four Dutchmen. All were brought to the District Prosecutor's Office in Grójec, where they were charged with manufacturing and possessing significant amounts of psychotropic substances. The prosecutor requested temporary arrest for the detained men. Due to the large scale of production, they face up to 20 years in prison.
