Transport police have disrupted a synthetic drug distribution network in Aktobe, Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said. Officers seized 10 kg of the psychotropic substance alpha-PVP during a special operation.

The group operated through a hierarchical system, with members working as warehouse handlers for an online drug shop and following instructions from an anonymous operator. They rented a private house to package the drugs.

A search of the house uncovered five packages containing psychotropic substances. During investigative actions, the detainees made confessions and identified a stash in a wooded area, where another 10 packages of drugs were found.
