Officers from the Jelenia Góra CBŚP, working together with the Bolesławiec police, established that a criminal group operating in Lower Silesia was involved in producing and trafficking drugs—including outside Poland.
Within several days, the officers shut down three laboratories where methamphetamine (so-called piko) was produced. They were located in Ocice (Bolesławiec County), Stary Zawidów and Posada near Bogatynia. The police also discovered places where the gang members stored, among other things, gas-powered weapons.
The operation had been ongoing for several months. To this end, the criminals rented, among other things, a detached house and converted its basement. Interestingly, the “producers” also stole electricity. On the other floors of the house, as a cover, normal life continued—all to avoid arousing the neighbors’ suspicions.
The officers arrested six people, aged between 24 and 50, who were involved in producing, trading and transporting methamphetamine to the Czech Republic and Germany. According to investigators, the group may have produced around a dozen kilograms of the finished drug.
At prosecutor’s offices in Zgorzelec and Bolesławiec, the men were charged with producing psychotropic substances. By court decision, four people were temporarily detained, while two were placed under police supervision and required to provide financial guarantees.
