In Astana, servicemen of military unit 5573 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan thwarted a drug-related crime while patrolling the Baikonur district of the capital.

During street patrols, the head of the patrol detail, Private Dauren Omirbek, together with patrolmen Privates Dauyr Ashimbek and Dosymzhan Dauletkhan, noticed suspicious behavior by unidentified individuals. Two citizens exited a vehicle and, after looking around, attempted to flee after retrieving an unknown item from under the snow.

Assessing the situation, Private Dauren Omirbek immediately gave chase and detained one of the suspects. The other two managed to escape the scene. The incident was promptly reported to the senior patrol officer, after which the duty service notified the police via the 102 hotline.

Case materials have been handed over to the investigative task force, and the detainee has been placed in a temporary detention facility in accordance with established procedures.

This incident clearly demonstrates the high level of training and vigilance of National Guard servicemen. On a daily basis, guardsmen perform public order protection duties, making a significant contribution to combating illicit drug trafficking. Notably, in 2025 alone, 56 cases of illegal trafficking and transportation of narcotic substances were identified and recorded with the participation of law enforcement troops.
