Tengrinews.kz - The police of Astana uncovered a large drug trafficking ring.
Law enforcement, in coordination with the prosecutor's office, shut down two online stores through which synthetic drugs were being distributed.
The key organizer was a 23-year-old woman who coordinated the entire process, from purchasing and storing the drugs to delivering them to clients.
"The criminals used the Telegram platform for trade," said the Astana police department.
A total of 30 authorized searches were carried out at the addresses of the suspects. Fifteen people were arrested. Police seized 5 kilograms of synthetic drugs, equivalent to 15,000 individual doses.
Additionally, a member of the group, a 26-year-old man from Astana, was previously arrested, and during a search, a vacuum cleaner was found and seized, containing a large amount of mephedrone.
