In the settlement of Malinovaya Gryada, narcotics police detained a 24-year-old resident of the town of Semyonov. The police noticed a young man with a prior conviction. He was moving around the plots suspiciously, which aroused the officers' interest.

During a search, they found 100 bundles with an unknown substance in his backpack and another 59 in the pockets of his clothing. They were all neatly wrapped in electrical tape. An examination of one of the seized bundles confirmed the presence of amphetamine weighing 1.431 grams.
