5 liters of opium extract seized in Brest

The police in Brest have seized two lots of opium extract from the two local residents, the biggest catch lately.

During a raid on the apartment of a welder from one of the local factories, police found over 1 liter of the extract. In another operation, the law-enforcement authorities seized 2.5 liters of the opium extract from a local unemployed. The extract found would be sufficient to produce up to 35 liters of ready-to-use drug, notes ont.by

Opium is often described as a so called “heavy” drug, which causes dangerous addiction after several injections. Opium is banned from production, distribution and usages in Belarus.
