Amphetamine laboratories dismantled in Gdynia and Rumi
Officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Police and the Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime revealed and dismantled two illegal amphetamine production facilities in Gdynia and Rumi. According to cbsp.policja.pl, police officers secured over 45 litres of liquid amphetamine, from which approximately 60 kg of narcotics valued at an estimated 1.5 million zloty could be produced, a complete production line and numerous chemical substances. Two men were detained in the case and subsequently arrested.
The first laboratory operated in a shed on the grounds of a family allotment garden in Gdynia. Officers found a complete technological amphetamine production line there. Police secured 3.5 kg of liquid amphetamine (purity ready for sale: over 4 kg, value approximately 130,000 zloty) and over 45 litres of liquid amphetamine base (estimated market value 1.5 million zloty). Production equipment, chemical reagents, precursors and a cultivation of hemp other than fibre hemp were also found on the plot.
The second production site was located in the basement of a residential block in Rumi and belonged to Tomasz D. Laboratory equipment and chemical substances were secured there. The second detainee — Sebastian B. — was found by police in possession of equipment for cultivating marijuana and amphetamine.
Both men were charged with producing large quantities of narcotics, cultivating hemp, possessing intoxicating substances and psychotropic substances. The court ordered their preventative detention.
The operation of illegal laboratories creates a serious threat to health and safety. The chemical substances used in production are toxic, caustic and highly flammable — improper storage risks fire, explosion and soil contamination. Narcotics of unknown composition and concentration pose a risk of severe poisoning and death to users.
