Officers detained the truck driver, an Iranian citizen.[1][2] The detained driver was taken to the investigative department of Syunik Province.[1][2] Authorities opened a criminal case and are investigating all the circumstances of the case as well as possible accomplices and organisers.[1][2]

Officers seized almost 30 kilograms of hashish from a truck travelling in transit toward Georgia.[1][2] The detailed search found 111 packages containing about 28 kilograms of hashish.[1][2] The packages were hidden in specially equipped concealed compartments in the trailer.[1][2] The truck was officially declared to be carrying construction slabs, with Georgia listed as its final destination.[1]

Officers had stopped the truck at the Agarak border checkpoint as it entered Armenia.[1][2] An initial X-ray examination during standard customs procedures had revealed no violation.[1][2] A subsequent check using K9 assets indicated possible drugs inside the trailer.[1][2] The truck was then sent for a more detailed customs examination, where officers dismantled the trailer and found the concealment.[1][2]

The driver was identified only by the initials J. Sh.[2] The truck was transiting through Armenia from the Islamic Republic, bound for Georgia.[2] The State Revenue Committee announced the seizure in a press release.[2]
