Officers of the National Revenue Administration and the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Police seized more than 170 kilograms of marijuana near Kostrzyn by Poznań.[1][2][3][4][5] The drug was hidden beneath a layer of coal fines in a truck carrying cargo from Spain to Poland.[1][2][6][4][5]

Officers stopped the truck for a routine inspection and found that the coal fines shipment had not been entered in the SENT register, which is mandatory for such cargo.[7][2][3] The stop took place on 23 October 2026.[6][4][5] In a detailed check of the load they found suspicious big-bag sacks holding 170 hermetically sealed packages of greenish-brown plant material under the coal fines.[7][2][5] Preliminary tests confirmed that the seized material was marijuana.[7][2][6][3][4][5]

Krzysztof Wrześniowski, spokesperson for the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Police, said the way the packages were hidden was meant to make them hard to detect and required a thorough inspection of the cargo.[7][2][4] The services estimated the black-market value of the marijuana at more than 3 million zlotys.[7][2][6][3][4][5] The truck driver, a Polish citizen, was fined 5,000 zlotys for transporting goods without a SENT reference number.[7][2][3][4] Further work in the case is being carried out by the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Police.[7][2][3][4]
