Drug dealers arrested in Nógrád County
Staff from the Nógrád County police and the local police headquarters carried out an operation in September 2014 in an already ongoing case, during which several suspects were arrested – according to Police.hu.
In the first phase of the investigation, on 17 September in the afternoon, a car was stopped near Pásztó. In the vehicle of the 35-year-old driver from Salgótarján, police found white substance wrapped in aluminium foil – according to experts, amphetamine – and plant material in a plastic bag, presumably marijuana.
Based on the investigation data, a 37-year-old Budapest resident supplied the narcotics purchased from the man. With the assistance of a Counter-Terrorism Centre unit, police arrested the suspect in the capital the same day. A search was conducted at his home, where officers found a replica firearm, nearly four hundred ecstasy tablets, dozens of marijuana plants, and a larger quantity of cocaine and amphetamine. Drug production and distribution equipment and a significant amount of cash were also seized from the flat.
It was later discovered that the man from Salgótarján had obtained the substance found in his possession from a 27-year-old Budapest resident at a shopping centre in the capital. Investigators arrested the man on 24 September, again with the involvement of the Counter-Terrorism Centre. More than 44 grams of amphetamine and nearly 77 grams of ecstasy tablets were seized from his flat.
The 27-year-old suspect was placed in custody, and proceedings were initiated against him on suspicion of drug possession and drug trafficking. The prosecution was requested to seek his remand in custody.
