When entering the building, police officers detected the characteristic smell already in the stairwell, indicating the presence of prohibited substances. During a search of the apartment, they discovered a genuine drug “warehouse” – packages containing dried plant material and a crystalline substance were found on the countertop in the kitchenette.
Ampoules containing a semi-liquid substance were also secured. It may be used to produce intoxicants and will undergo detailed laboratory testing.
The officers found even more drugs in other parts of the apartment – numerous plastic bags filled with dried plant material were located in furniture drawers in a room. Everything was secured for further procedural activities.
A police forensic technician confirmed that the secured material consisted of more than 3 kilograms of marijuana, more than 30 grams of methamphetamine and several portions of amphetamine.
The detained 33-year-old was taken to the prosecutor’s office, where he was charged with possessing significant quantities of drugs and preparing them for distribution. At the investigators’ request, the court in Bolesławiec decided to impose three months of pre-trial detention.
It was established that the man had previously been convicted of similar offences, so he will be prosecuted as a repeat offender. As a result, he faces more severe criminal liability – from one to 10 years in prison, while in the case of recidivism the sentence may increase to as much as 15 years.
