An Attempt to Smuggle Drugs to a Convict Was Prevented in a UIS Facility in the Kyzylorda Region

An attempt to deliver prohibited substances to a convicted individual was prevented at Institution No. 60 of the Department of the Penal Enforcement System (UIS) in the Kyzylorda Region. An acquaintance of the convict tried to bring in a forbidden item by concealing it in the strap of a bag. Thanks to the vigilance of the staff, the attempt was promptly thwarted.

During the inspection of the parcel, Senior Instructor of Military Unit No. 5547, N. Menlibek, noticed a suspicious object. A check was carried out with the assistance of a service search dog, during which a carefully wrapped polyethylene package with a strong odor, externally resembling a plant-based substance, was found hidden in the bag strap.

Officers of the institution’s operational department immediately took appropriate measures. An оперативно-investigative group from the city police department was called to the scene. The substance was seized, and a relevant report was drawn up against the individual who attempted to deliver the parcel.

According to the conclusion of a forensic chemical examination, the seized substance was identified as dried marijuana. Investigative actions are currently being carried out regarding the attempted transfer of the prohibited substance.

UIS officers, together with servicemen of Military Unit No. 5547, continue systematic efforts to prevent the entry of items prohibited for use and possession by convicts into the institution.
