The investigative authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Nizhny Novgorod have completed the investigation of a criminal case against a 19-year-old resident of the Volodarsky District, accused of illegal circulation of narcotic substances, the regional Interior Ministry reports.
According to investigators, the young man, at the request of an acquaintance, acquired a narcotic — cannabis. He planned to toss a package containing the prohibited substance onto the grounds of a correctional facility.

The criminal case has been completed and will be sent to court shortly after the indictment is approved.
