These past days, the customs division of Zvartnots airport, while
x-raying luggage of the Amsterdam-Yerevan flight, discovered a
"not-uniform object" in one of the passenger’s suitcases.
As informed by the custom agency’s information department, the
passenger was allowed to leave the customs area, where in the arrival
section another citizen had been called for a customs search. During
the search, 16 packages of green objects were found, and one package
of a white powder-like substance, which were hidden in five bags of
"Wriglis" potato chips.
Chemical analysis of the 16 packages revealed 235.65 grams of pure
marijuana, while in the other package 33.83 grams of cocaine were
found.
Government agencies have labeled this a crime under article 215,
part 2. The two individuals have been arrested for obstruction of
justice. Preliminary investigations are ongoing.
