ST. PETERSBURG, September 17 (RIA Novosti) - Some 11 kilograms (24 pounds) of crystal meth and over 9,000 ecstasy pills have been seized in this year's largest haul in St. Petersburg, local drug police said Monday.
Police uncovered several drug stashes after detaining three people in possession of 2 kg (over 4 pounds) of crystal meth, and a large batch of ecstasy pills.
The haul also included cocaine and methadone, a strong prescription drug that has a similar effect to heroin.
An investigation is underway to find the dealers who supplied the drugs, and the delivery channels into Russia's second city.
