The 23-year-old suspect has already been charged and a preventive measure has been chosen.
Law enforcement discovered the young man in the Khadzhybei district of Odesa while he was placing «stash spots».

Additionally, police confiscated eight more wraps of similar contents from his hiding spots. All substances have been sent for examination.
