Drug enforcement officers from the North-Eastern Administrative District Department of Internal Affairs, together with investigators, disrupted the activities of a group of individuals suspected of attempting to sell drugs on an especially large scale. Four relatives—two men and two women—were involved in the criminal scheme. They stored, packaged, and sold drugs in Moscow and the Moscow region. All were arrested on the same day in different districts. A 35-year-old suspect was detained in a shopping center parking lot in Serpukhov, transporting a package containing 50 grams of methadone for sale. At the time of his arrest, the man was attempting to discard the drugs. At the same time, on Putilovskoye Highway, officers detained two of his accomplices—a 62-year-old woman and her 31-year-old daughter—who were attempting to transport approximately 0.5 kilograms of methadone in their car. Police detained the fourth suspect, 31, in an apartment in Krasnogorsk. It was in this apartment that the accomplices stored and packaged the drugs. During a search, police seized approximately 900 grams of methadone in packages. The detainees confessed and were charged. Furthermore, officers from the Eastern Administrative Okrug's Department of Internal Affairs on Chusovskaya Street detained a 21-year-old man with 57 packages of heroin (approximately 100 grams). The suspect had managed to create a hiding place, where police discovered the methadone. Criminal cases have been opened in all of the above-mentioned cases. The suspects have been remanded in custody.
