Cocaine and cannabis distribution near schools hit, young man from Durrës arrested in Librazhd

Narcotics Investigation Specialists at the Elbasan Local Police Directorate, in cooperation with the Operational Support Section of the Investigation and under the direction of the Prosecution, have successfully finalised the operation codenamed “Zhvendosja” (“Displacement”), hitting a network distributing narcotics near educational institutions. As part of this action, citizen E. C., 27 years old, resident in Durrës, was arrested in flagrante delicto, while proceedings were initiated at liberty for his companion, citizen M. T., 21 years old.

The investigations carried out showed that the 27-year-old had temporarily settled in the city of Librazhd and frequently changed residences in order to avoid identification by the police during his criminal activity of selling doses of narcotics to young people. During the physical search carried out on him, the officers found and seized as material evidence dozens of doses ready for sale, suspected to be cocaine and cannabis sativa. Meanwhile, a cutting tool, a knife, was found on the 21-year-old citizen, while it was verified that the arrested man was driving without the relevant licence the vehicle used to transport the drugs. Police also seized the vehicle, three mobile phones and the cutting tool, while the materials were passed to the Prosecution for further procedural actions.
