A Kaunas resident has received a final combined sentence of six years imprisonment for distributing psychotropic substances. The court also ordered the confiscation of 5,000 euros that were discovered and seized from the defendant's apartment. According to prosecution data, the accused, identified as A. G., illegally possessed a very large quantity of 3-CMC, 4-CMC, and ketamine at his residence with the intent to sell or distribute them. Evidence indicates that some of these substances were packaged into individual portions for further distribution. During the investigation, it was determined that A. G. transported these packages by car to the Vilkaviลกkis town and district. There, he concealed the psychotropic substances in 'drops', hidden caches prepared in various locations and buried in the ground. Law enforcement officers uncovered these hidden caches in different parts of the Vilkaviลกkis district during the pre-trial investigation. A. G. also kept some of the packaged substances with him and in his vehicle. A search of the defendant's home and car revealed a significant amount of psychotropic drugs, exceeding 380 grams of 3-CMC, along with 4-CMC and ketamine. The verdict from the Kaunas Regional Court can be appealed to the Lithuanian Court of Appeal.
