YEREVAN, JUNE 8, ARMENPRESS. Amid an ongoing investigation, Armenian law enforcement agencies uncovered a drug trafficking case by an organized criminal group – the drugs were smuggled from the United States in large quantities.

The investigative committee told ARMENPRESS the drug traffickers have been identified – one of them being a resident of the United States, and the two others of Armenia.

According to evidence – a US-based ethnic Armenian man conspired with his childhood friend from Armenia, and the latter’s acquaintance – on selling large amounts of drugs.

According to their agreement, the man acquired a large amount of methamphetamine in the US and sent it to Armenia, hidden in a package. The package was received by his accomplice in Armenia, who tried to transport it to their other accomplice, but failed and was caught by police.

The two citizens in Armenia have been charged and remanded in custody.

An arrest warrant has been issued for the US-based man, who is currently wanted.
