Police in the city of Kursk detained a man whom they publicly described as an
interregional courier involved in moving narcotics.[1]According to police,
officers carrying out an inspection of the luggage compartment of the detainee’s
car discovered a bag inside holding 4 kg of the narcotic drug hashish.[1]
During a further examination of the detainee’s home, officers discovered and
seized 11 additional types of plant and synthetic narcotic drugs kept there.[1]Operatives seized 15 kg of narcotic drugs in total in the operation, a
combined figure covering all of the substances found in the car and the home.[1]Police said the entire haul was intended for sale through tainiki-zakladki,
the hidden dead drops where dealers leave drugs for buyers to collect.[1]
Because the 15 kg total mixes cannabis with synthetic and other plant drugs that
were not separately weighed in the excerpt, only the 4 kg of hashish is recorded
here as cannabis.[1]The successive searches of the car and then the home were
presented as consecutive steps in the same investigation against the same
detained courier.[1]
