In a joint operation by the State Security Service and Customs authorities, a case involving the online sale of narcotic substances was uncovered. A citizen who had been under surveillance was apprehended in the Zangiota district of the Tashkent region.
According to reports, a water pump sent from abroad was seized from this individual, born in 1994 in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, in accordance with established procedures. Upon inspection in the presence of witnesses, it was discovered that 968 grams of the synthetic drug 'Alpha PVP' were hidden inside the device.
Additionally, the apartment in the Yangihayot district of Tashkent, where the suspect had been living on rent, was searched. Two electronic scales, zip-lock bags, and adhesive tape, which could be used for measuring and packaging narcotic substances, were found and seized as evidence.
According to preliminary information, this citizen served as a 'warehouseman' for an internet drug store. This means he may have been involved in the receipt, storage, and subsequent distribution of prohibited substances.
A criminal case has been initiated regarding this incident. Investigative bodies are continuing inquiries to identify other individuals involved in this scheme, the source of the substances, and the distribution channels.
In short, another dangerous link connected to an internet drug store has been exposed in the Zangiota district. Nearly 1 kilogram of synthetic drugs hidden inside a water pump was intercepted before entering circulation. It was not a 'warehouse' that operated here, but a criminal scheme—and now its threads are in the hands of investigators.
