The TOXI team is part of the criminal police and investigation service and is made up of experienced investigators and selected criminalists, who together form an important component of the fight against drug crime. Their task is to detect illegal laboratories (so-called breweries) and drug manufacturers, nurseries and growers of plants containing narcotic or psychotropic substances, at the same time to eliminate the activities of dealers and distributors of preparations containing these substances and to identify persons who help them in this illegal activity,” she said police spokesperson Michaela Raindlová.
