Police seize about 600g cannabis sent by mail in Brovary district
A 44-year-old man was detained and faces up to 10 years in prison.
Police in the Brovary district detained a 44-year-old man accused of selling cannabis via postal shipments.
Authorities seized about 600 grams of the drug, which investigators say was kept for further distribution.
The scheme allegedly worked through “orders” sent through mail. Investigators said the man sent prohibited substances to clients using postal services through one of the communications offices in the capital region.
After investigative and operational search measures, police documented the alleged offence. During sanctioned searches at the man’s home, officers found and seized evidence linked to the suspected drug business.
The man was detained in procedural order. Police in Kyiv Oblast informed him of suspicion under parts 1 and 2 of Article 307 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, covering illegal production, manufacture, acquisition, storage, transportation, shipment or sale of narcotic substances or their analogues.
The provision carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing as investigators work to identify possible accomplices, Kievshchyna 24/7 reported.
