Mother helped her 17-year-old son with drug dealing, police suspect
A mother is suspected of aiding her 17-year-old son in drug sales, leading to serious drug offense charges against both in Turku, Finland.
In Turku, Finland, a 17-year-old boy and his mother are under suspicion for serious drug offenses as the police investigate the boy's drug dealing activities. The police arrested the boy on St. Stephen's Day after allegedly finding him selling controlled substances, including Ksalol and Rivotril tablets, from a rented apartment. Reports indicate that he was in possession of a significant quantity of drugs, suggesting that he may have initially had a larger stash.
The investigation reveals that the boy allegedly secured up to 3,500 doses of Subutex, 1,000 doses of Rivotril, and at least 14,550 doses of Ksalol, which he purportedly acquired from the capital region for sale. He had managed to sell part of these drugs to former contacts before his arrest. According to police, the boy was utilizing various online platforms under different aliases, as well as anonymous messaging applications, to reach potential buyers.
Moreover, the police suspect that the boy's mother played a crucial role in the operations; she allegedly stored drugs at her son's request and later returned them to him. This case not only sheds light on drug trafficking activities in Finland but also raises concerns about the involvement of family members in criminal activities, the implications of youth being engaged in serious illegal business, and the community's response to increasing drug-related issues.
