Delivery Suspicion Triggers Police Action in Yekaterinburg

A delivery incident in Yekaterinburg drew police attention when a courier suspected illegal substances in a package and reported the matter. The event began when a driver was assigned to hand over an order from the Chkalovsky district to Verkh-Isetsky on October 13. The courier accepted the parcel and set out toward the recipient, but during the journey a strong, unusual odor and a sense that the package could contain narcotics led him to alert authorities. The action, taken promptly, appears to have cut short a potential distribution chain. The information circulated across several social channels, including a Telegram channel that provided live updates as the events unfolded.
