Two people were arrested and taken into custody after the nuclear item was seized. An Interior Ministry statement gave the following information about the items that were seized,
"...high resistance to corrosion, make them particularly apt for use in the nuclear industry," the ministry said.
Along with the nuclear items that were seized, police also found incriminating documents, accessories that were used for mounting and suspicious computer data: all were seized.
