Police operations across Poland reported a series of arrests and seizures targeting organised crime. In Wejherowo County, officers from the KPP and the Gdańsk Border Guard seized more than 15 kg of narcotics—including amphetamine, marijuana, MDMA, heroin, mephedrone and cocaine—valued at about 900 thousand zł and detained a 41‑year‑old suspect who faces up to 18 years in prison.

The Internal Security Agency (ABW) announced that a 28‑year‑old Belarusian, Vitalij S., was detained for preparing a sabotage act on behalf of a foreign intelligence service; he filmed a large warehouse in Chełm and received payment in cryptocurrency. He also faces charges for possession of narcotics.

In Katowice, a 46‑year‑old man was arrested for a voucher‑fraud scheme that caused losses exceeding 800 thousand zł; prosecutors say he could face up to 12 years imprisonment. In Łódź, police dismantled an illegal indoor cannabis farm operated by two brothers and their father, seizing plants, weaponry and 2 200 rounds of ammunition; the eldest brother faces up to 20 years in jail.

Customs officials in Łódź also intercepted nearly 70 illegal parcels containing 1 kg of marijuana, 1 kg of hashish, 17 kg of tobacco, e‑cigarettes, steroids and cash worth roughly 80 thousand zł. An 18‑year‑old Belarusian was arrested for cash withdrawals in a fraud scheme that defrauded victims of over 270 thousand zł. These coordinated actions illustrate a broad crackdown on drug trafficking, fraud, espionage and illegal weapon possession.
