Record drug seizure in Petroșani: four kilograms of cannabis intercepted via courier

An operation conducted in Petroșani has led to the discovery of a significant quantity of narcotic substances. Authorities have managed to intercept four kilograms of cannabis, which was to be distributed through a courier service.

According to Servuspress, the seizure represents one of the largest quantities of drugs confiscated in the Jiu Valley area in recent times. The method of transport chosen by traffickers – the use of courier firms – is frequently encountered in drug trafficking cases, offering an apparent layer of anonymity to those involved.

Police officers in Petroșani acted on the basis of operational intelligence and managed to block the delivery of the parcel containing the cannabis. The investigation is continuing with a view to identifying all members of the distribution network and the source of supply.

Drug trafficking remains a priority for Romania's organised crime-fighting structures. Authorities are intensifying controls at the national level to prevent and combat this criminal phenomenon.
