In Kaunas, police found a revolver and drugs in a man stopped on the street

Police in Kaunas discovered a revolver and suspected narcotics in a man's possession during a routine stop.

In a recent incident, a man born in 1974 was stopped by police on Jurbarko street around 9 PM. During the inspection, authorities discovered a glass container with a liquid suspected to be an illegal narcotic substance in the man's jacket pocket. This discovery led to further investigation as police conducted a search of his vehicle, a Ford Focus, where they found an unlicensed revolver on the back seat.

Following the findings, the suspect was taken into custody, and both the illegal firearm and the suspected drugs were seized for further analysis. The incident has sparked a response from law enforcement as they have initiated preliminary investigations into the illegal possession of firearms and narcotic substances without intent to distribute. This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding drug-related offenses and gun violence in urban areas.

As investigations proceed, authorities are expected to release more details regarding the type of firearm and the nature of the substance found. Such incidents continue to raise awareness about the need for stringent measures in monitoring and reducing illegal activities, especially in smaller cities like Kaunas, where such occurrences may not be as prevalent as in larger urban centers.
