On the outskirts of Szczytno, the services liquidated one of the largest drug laboratories in the region and a production line used to produce illegal tobacco products. About 800 liters of liquid clephedrone, one hundred kilograms of powder, and four and a half tons of cut tobacco were seized. The black market value of the secured funds may amount to even several dozen million zlotys. Five people were arrested in the case.

The police revealed this place on Tuesday (January 14), although at first it did not seem that it would turn out to be a drug underground. It was located on the outskirts of Szczytno (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship). The services received a report about a fire in a vacant building.

After receiving the report, firefighters and police officers intervened. The fire turned out to be harmless and was quickly brought under control, while the police checked the rooms next door, where they discovered machines for the production of tobacco products and a production line for producing drugs – said Deputy Commissioner Tomasz Markowski, spokesman for the Provincial Police Headquarters in Olsztyn.
