Four teenagers detained for drug distribution
Drug control officers, with the forceful support of OMON fighters, detained four Minsk residents aged 14, 15, 17, and 18, according to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They worked as wholesale and retail couriers for an online store selling prohibited substances. They packaged the "goods" into small batches, which they then distributed through caches (stashes/drops) in the capital.
A dangerous narcotic substance — hashish — was found and confiscated on them and in the caches. The suspects found the offer of illegal earnings online. The work lasted several weeks.
A criminal case has been initiated. The detainees face up to 20 years of imprisonment. Responsibility for this offense begins at age 14.
