Four Mexican nationals were arrested on-site during the operation. CBŚP has determined that they are part of an organized crime group involved in producing and distributing significant amounts of drugs within Poland.

The authorities confiscated nearly 120 liters of meth, along with equipment and large quantities of chemicals necessary for its production. The seized substances and equipment were sent for laboratory analysis, with the total black market value of the drugs exceeding 7 million PLN (about 1.63 million EUR).

The detainees were transported to the District Prosecutor's Office in Bielsk Podlaski, where they were charged with leading and participating in an organized crime group, as well as producing large quantities of drugs.

Upon the prosecutor's request, the District Court in Bielsk Podlaski, located in northeastern Poland, imposed a three-month temporary detention on all four suspects.
