In Kryvyi Rih, law enforcement officials apprehended a 47-year-old man suspected of illegal drug possession. During a cursory inspection, approximately one hundred zip bags containing cannabis, electronic scales, and a mobile phone were found in his possession. This information was reported by "Vidomo," referencing the police of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

The incident occurred on one of the streets in the Ternivka district of the city. Patrol officers, noticing the man's suspicious behavior, decided to conduct a preliminary check. Their suspicions were confirmed— a significant quantity of packaged cannabis, ready for sale, was discovered with the detainee.

The presence of electronic scales and a mobile phone indicates that the detained individual may have been involved not only in storage but also in the distribution of narcotic substances.

The seized substances and items have been sent for examination. Experts will need to verify that the confiscated substance is indeed cannabis and determine its exact weight and quality.

The results of the examination will be crucial evidence in the ongoing investigation.
