Police uncover methamphetamine lab in Jihlava area

The police uncovered a methamphetamine lab in the Jihlava area, east Bohemia that had been producing the Czech version known as pervetin for at least one year. Two men were arrested during a search in which related production equipment was found; both have since been charged and if found guilty could each face up to five years in prison. The duo – aged 33 and 26 - are thought to have produced a new batch of the drug at least once every two weeks.
