Two women who organized a drug trafficking scheme through a Telegram channel and logistics companies were exposed and detained in Kherson.
This was reported by the press service of the National Police in Kherson region.
Law enforcement officers found that a 31-year-old and a 46-year-old Kherson resident were selling amphetamine, ecstasy, A-PVP, and cannabis in the region.
According to them, the women worked according to modern schemes: they accepted orders through a chatbot and received payment in cryptocurrency. The goods were delivered through courier services and left in "bookmarks" around the city.
During the searches at the suspects' residences and in their vehicle, the following items were seized:
The car used to transport the drugs was also seized. According to law enforcement estimates, the value of the seized drugs on the black market reaches one million hryvnias. This is the largest batch of seized psychotropic substances since the de-occupation of Kherson.
The 31-year-old organizer is currently in custody, and investigative actions against her accomplice are underway. The main suspect faces up to 12 years in prison under Part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("Illegal sale of narcotic substances").
In early March, three local residents in Voznesensk were served suspicion notices of selling psychotropic substances. The woman, together with her brother and another acquaintance, was involved in the sale of a particularly dangerous psychotropic substance - PVP. During the search, the police seized packaged alpha-PVP, cannabis, a syringe with brown liquid, drafts, mobile phones, a bank card and electronic scales.
The SBU also detained a criminal group that was involved in drug and psychotropic trafficking, earning over a million hryvnias a month. The criminals distributed drugs among acquaintances or trusted persons, leaving drug houses in the city and region, as well as transferring them directly from hand to hand.
