Officers from the anti-drug unit of the Kielce city police searched a property in Gorno commune on Tuesday to check suspicions that a young local resident possessed drugs.[1][2][3][4] The 19-year-old resident was detained and charged with possessing a significant quantity of intoxicants, which police say carries up to 10 years in prison.[5][2][4] A court imposed bail, a ban on leaving the country and an obligation to report to a police station twice a week.[5][2][3][4]

Preliminary estimates indicate officers secured about 1.1 kg of marijuana, 1 kg of hashish and 46 grams of butter containing THC.[5][2][3][4] Officers also found a non-fibre cannabis plant, an electronic scale and more than 5,000 zlotys in cash at the property.[5][4] The same search also yielded about 1.7 kg of mephedrone, a synthetic drug that is not counted in this report’s cannabis totals.[1] The seized material was sent to a police laboratory for detailed testing to establish its exact composition, and police are checking whether the secured cash came from criminal activity.[5][2][3]
