Craiova: Two young people, aged 17 and 19, detained for cocaine trafficking
Authorities in Craiova have dismantled a small drug distribution network operated by two teenagers. A 17-year-old girl and a 19-year-old boy are now under investigation for drug-related offences.
The investigation was launched by police officers specialising in combating organised crime, together with DIICOT prosecutors in the locality. Evidence gathered so far indicates that the two were active in the drug market in the municipality during the months of May and June of this year.
On 18 June 2026, uniformed officers caught the suspects just as they were preparing a transaction. Upon inspection, 25 grams of cocaine were discovered on them, packaged in 49 small envelopes ready for delivery.
In parallel, investigators raided the targeted residences, where they seized items used for dividing drugs, an additional quantity of white powder undergoing specialist analysis, and cash.
The two spent 24 hours in custody, and the following day prosecutors requested the court issue a warrant for one month of preventive detention.
