Poland Police dismantle drug lab and tobacco smuggling ring
Polish law enforcement agencies have conducted several major operations targeting organized crime. In the Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki district, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBŚP) dismantled a professional drug laboratory. Officers seized over 1,600 kg of clofedron, with an estimated black market value exceeding 82 million PLN. Three men were arrested during the raid and face charges related to organized crime and drug production.
In a separate crackdown on fiscal crime, CBŚP and Border Guard officers arrested nine men suspected of operating an illegal cigarette production and distribution ring. The group’s activities between 2025 and 2026 caused losses to the Polish state treasury exceeding 8.2 million PLN, including 6.6 million PLN in unpaid excise duties.
Additional narcotics operations resulted in various seizures across the country, including nearly 17 kg of marijuana in Sochaczew and over 6.5 kg of drugs in the Łęczyca district. In Kielce county, police interrupted a ritual ceremony, seizing over 7 liters of a DMT infusion and detaining two individuals.
