The SBU eliminated illegal activities of a criminal organization in Vinnytsia region. It was a drug lab in a private house in Vinnytsia region , as well as a group of suspects who operated in the capital, as well as in Kyiv and Vinnytsia regions.
The police found that a 37-year-old resident of Kyiv organized the drug business. He involved five other local residents in the criminal activity. The so-called lab technicians were engaged in the manufacture of amphetamine.
To disguise the illegal activity, the organizer set up a drug lab in a private house in Vinnytsia region and supplied precursors there. In addition, he controlled the movement of money received from illegal activities and distributed profits among the group members.
The capacity of such a laboratory allowed the offenders to produce more than 10 kg of amphetamine per month, and the "business" brought them more than a million hryvnias of income per month.
The police, with the force support of the Special Police Battalion of the Kyiv City National Police and the tactical response of the Patrol Police Department, conducted 13 simultaneous searches and dismantled the drug lab. During the investigation, the police seized amphetamine, cannabis, precursors, laboratory equipment, cars, money, weapons and a hundred rounds of ammunition.
