No one came forward to collect the container, and no arrests had been made in the case.[1] Investigators are trying to establish who was behind the large-scale smuggling attempt and whether it is linked to international criminal groups.[1] The Gdansk District Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation into transporting 945.466 kg of cannabis herb into Poland.[2] The prosecutor assigned the investigation to the Pomeranian Customs and Tax Office in Gdynia, whose stated aim is to establish all the circumstances and identify the smugglers.[3] Importing a significant quantity of narcotics under the drug-prevention law carries a fine and 3 to 20 years in prison.[2]
Pomeranian customs officers in Gdynia secured 945.466 kg of marijuana hidden in cardboard boxes of clothing from Canada.[3] The black-market value the authorities gave for the marijuana was about 46 million zlotys, which the outlet reported as about 12 million dollars.[1] Tests confirmed marijuana in 1674 packages.[3] On 21 July 2026 officers of the Pomeranian Customs and Tax Office in Gdynia selected the container from Canada for inspection.[3] The container was first X-rayed and then examined in detail, and officers found vacuum bags of dried plant material that looked and smelled like marijuana inside the used clothing.[3]
According to the customs declaration the container was supposed to contain clothing for a Polish textile company in Mazowieckie Voivodeship.[3] The prosecutor recorded that the shipment entered through the customs clearance post at the Bulgarskie Quay in Gdynia.[2] The Pomeranian office said this was another large-scale drug smuggling attempt it had stopped that year.[3]
