A 21-year-old man from Berat has been arrested on suspicion of being involved in a drug distribution network, providing cannabis sativa that he divided into doses for sale.
The operation, codenamed “Porcione”, which concluded on November 7, was carried out by the Narcotics Investigation Section, in cooperation with the “Eagle” Special Force and the Special Operations Force. The investigation included proactive methods, environmental intercepts and pursuits.
According to local police, during the operation, citizen AK, 21 years old, was arrested, and citizen KK, 20 years old, both residents of Berat, was released on bail. Investigations revealed that the arrested man was obtaining quantities of cannabis, which he divided into doses in his apartment in the “30-Vjetori” neighborhood and then gave to the 20-year-old man for distribution by vehicle.
The narcotics seized from AK's apartment, KK's vehicle and their mobile phones were submitted as material evidence. The procedural materials were referred to the Berat Prosecutor's Office for further action.
