Investigations into the distribution of psychotropic substances commenced in February 2026 following the acquisition of data sourced from an online program group. Authorities suspected that transactions for these drugs were conducted using cryptocurrency. Subsequently, the organizer of this criminal operation reportedly obtained coordinates detailing the storage locations of the substances.
Coastal police officers initiated thorough investigations, which ultimately led to the identification of the primary distributor. In May 2026, KPONTV officers successfully arrested a 25-year-old man residing in the Klaipėda district. This individual, who operates an individual business, was already known to law enforcement authorities due to prior convictions for theft and unlawful possession of narcotic or psychotropic substances, though not for distribution.
During the course of these ongoing investigations, the police officers determined that the man in question was responsible for the criminal activity under review. The comprehensive efforts by the police and the dedicated work of the officers allowed authorities to dismantle the distribution network. The initial data gathered online provided the catalyst for the extensive investigations, culminating in the physical apprehension of the suspect and the seizure of evidence related to the illegal trade.
