Officers of Warsaw’s VII Territorial municipal-guard unit went to Suchodolska Street in Praga-Południe after residents reported noisy behaviour by a group of young people.[1] They found five young people gathered at a bench in a housing estate.[1] The guards found marijuana on two of the participants after noticing suspicious behaviour.[1] One had hidden something behind his trouser elastic while the other had dropped a small packet under the bench.[1] The packet and a cigarette pack hidden behind a belt contained marijuana, which the municipal guard confirmed.[1]
The incident happened on Monday, 2 November, after a report at about 18:05 that youths were drinking alcohol and shouting vulgar words.[1] The patrol arrived about 15 minutes later and located the group without difficulty.[1] The guards saw no one drinking alcohol despite the initial report.[1] Police were called to the scene and took the two young people carrying marijuana away.[1] Officers will establish where the seized substance came from.[1]
One of the youths also produced a sealed bottle of vodka that he said he was saving for his 18th birthday the next day.[1] The guards confirmed that he was still one day short of adulthood.[1] His mother was called to the scene and took the alcohol from him.[1] The guards held an educational talk with the remaining participants.[1]
