Sevastopol police detained a local resident who intended to sell a large batch of narcotic mushrooms.

Employees of the Drug Control Department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol, with the force support of the special forces detachment “Thunder,” detained a 28-year-old local resident who was growing psilocybin mushrooms at home with the aim of their further sale in the territory of the Hero City.
