The Investigative Committee has charged three 18-year-old residents of Gus-Khrustalny with 13 counts of drug dealing. One of them also committed seven more incidents on his own.
The agency reports that, wanting to make money, in August 2024, the defendants began hoarding drugs. They obtained prohibited substances through online correspondence with unknown persons.
On August 26, they received the coordinates of the location of a large drug shipment in Gus-Khrustalny, took it away and made 13 “hiding places.” The next day, one of them made seven more stashes of psychotropic substances.
The youths were subsequently arrested by police officers and the prohibited substances were seized. All those arrested were taken into custody. The investigation is ongoing.
