The police also detained a 50-year old man from Nitrianske Pravno who was dealing methamphetamine. They were directed to him by one of his customers in whose vehicle they found two doses. According to Žilina police spokeswoman Jana Balogová, the police also seized syringes containing methamphetamine and components for producing drugs. According to a preliminary expert report these substance could have been used to produce from 70 to 280 doses.
