Almost three kilograms of poppy straw were seized in the village of Zviriv in Kivertsi district by officers of the organized crime control department of the UMVS of Ukraine in the Volyn region. During the operation, law enforcement officers detained a 51-year-old unemployed local resident, but the poppy straw and two meat grinders were found not at the detainee's place, but at the home of an 83-year-old village resident, who, incidentally, was one of the main wholesale suppliers of the potion. This was reported to the Western Information Corporation on November 4 by the Central Public Relations Service of the UMVS of Ukraine in the Volyn region. \n \nIt is not ruled out that a 20-year-old great-granddaughter was helping the pensioner. However, the young assistant was not held liable, since the grandmother denied nothing and took all the blame upon herself. \n \nCurrently, a criminal case has been opened on this fact, and an investigation is underway. So far, only the 51-year-old drug courier has ended up behind bars. \n
