In Vitebsk, law enforcement officers detained a 36-year-old drug dealer, the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs Telegram channel reports.
As it became known during the investigation, a resident of Gorodok found an advertisement for employment on the Internet.
He received an assignment from his curator to rent an apartment in Vitebsk and pick up a wholesale batch of prohibited substances from a forest area.
