Two Belarusians Detained with Potent Substances While Travelling to Russia

Two Belarusian citizens have been detained during special operations on the Belarusian-Russian border. Potent substances were found in their possession.

Both men were travelling to Russia in a Chevrolet. A plastic container holding 97 tablets was found among one man’s personal belongings, while two vials of liquid were found in the other man’s belongings. Tests showed that the tablets contained methyltestosterone and dehydrochloromethyltestosterone, while the vials contained drostanolone. All three substances are classified as potent, the State Customs Committee reported.

Criminal cases have been opened against the men on suspicion of attempting to illegally transport potent substances across the border. They face up to seven years in prison.
