While following up on operational information, officers from the drug control department of the Sochi police detained a 47-year-old local resident suspected of manufacturing and selling drugs.
In his apartment, operatives found a specially equipped closet in which he was growing seven cannabis plants. Additionally, police discovered a large batch of ready-made drugs—about 610 grams of marijuana.
