On 11 November at about 5 p.m., police were patrolling the streets of Makow Mazowiecki.[1] On Franciszkanska Street, officers noticed three men.[1] One of them threw away a small package on seeing the approaching patrol car.[1] The man’s behaviour aroused the officers’ suspicion.[2] The man was a 53-year-old resident of Makow Mazowiecki who possessed narcotics.[1]

Inside the aluminium-foil package, officers found eight portions of different substances.[1] The material was plant material and white powder.[1] Testing confirmed the substances were marijuana and amphetamine.[3] Police spokeswoman Monika Winnik gave this account of the seizure.[2]

The 53-year-old was detained and placed in the police detention room.[1] The secured drugs constitute evidence in the case.[4] Police said possession of narcotics carries up to three years of imprisonment.[4] The authorities handling the proceedings will decide what happens next to the detained man.[4]
