Police seize drugs, weapons in Yerevan raids

Law enforcement officers conducted searches at 15 addresses across various districts of Yerevan, uncovering particularly large quantities of suspected drugs and weapons, including hunting rifles.

“Officers discovered a package containing more than one kilogram of a crystal-like substance, crystalline material and a flask with white traces. Suspected morphine, marijuana and substances resembling the drug known as ‘shoko’ were also found, along with a dropper filled with shoko and hunting rifles,” Armenia’s Interior Ministry police said.

Several people have been arrested.

The preliminary investigation into the case is ongoing.
