In a rapid operation conducted in cooperation with the DXX and customs authorities, the illegal circulation of a large quantity of narcotic drugs was prevented.
During the operation, a Lacetti vehicle traveling on the "Surkhandarya–Bukhara" route was stopped and inspected in the Kogon district. In the course of the inspection, approximately 1 kg of opium was found hidden under the air filter in the engine compartment of the car.
Investigations revealed that this substance had been obtained from an individual living in the Termiz district, who was engaged in international cargo transportation. In a subsequent operation, he was also detained, and 5 kg of opium was found on his person, with an additional 7 kg discovered at his residence.
