1200 Metal Cartridges of Nitrous Oxide Seized During Operation in Panagyurishte

A random check focusing on entertainment venues in Panagyurishte led to the uncovering of criminal activity and the seizure of a large number of nitrous oxide cartridges. According to police sources, criminologists from the department for combating crimes in drinking establishments and entertainment venues detained a 30-year-old man from the town. In the discotheque and in a parked outdoor car, a total of 1200 metal cartridges containing nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, were found.

During the investigation it was established that the man was selling the substance to discotheque visitors, including minors. A case file has been opened and will be forwarded to the prosecutor's office, police said.

The actions are part of ongoing efforts to combat the illegal distribution of substances in entertainment venues and to protect the public, especially minors, from such practices.
