The trafficking of a significant quantity of drugs was prevented by officers of the Narcotics Department of the Sub-Directorate for Crime Investigation and Prosecution in Igoumenitsa, who arrested a Greek citizen this morning. A criminal case has been filed against him for drug trafficking and transportation.

Specifically, according to the case chronology, police officers located a private vehicle in the area of Sagiada, near the Greek-Albanian border, as part of targeted checks. The car, owned by a rental company, was being driven by an 18-year-old Greek citizen.

During a subsequent search, police found and seized three bags in the trunk and rear seats of the vehicle, containing a total of 55 packages of marijuana, with a total weight of 60 kg and 565 grams.
