Police strike: drug dealer arrested on Neumarkt!
On Wednesday evening, August 13th, the Cologne police took out a suspected drug dealer in the busy area of Neumarkt. The 44-year-old, who has no permanent residence in Germany, came to the attention of the officers when he was playing loud music on a Bluetooth speaker in Krebsgasse at 6:30 p.m. In a targeted approach, the suspect was arrested and extensive investigations were initiated.
As part of the arrest, the police confiscated around 10,000 euros in suspected deal money as well as a variety of narcotics. When the man was searched, the officers found amphetamine, hashish, cannabis and LSD in large quantities. These security-relevant discoveries led to the City Investigation Group of the Cologne Police Headquarters starting investigations into suspected illicit trafficking in narcotics.
Detailed investigation results
The arrest took place as part of a key police operation aimed at combating drug-related crime in the region. “We showed a good hand,” said a police spokesman about the arrest. The alleged dealer will now be brought before a judge, where the next steps will be decided.
The Cologne police are sending a clear signal against drug-related crime in the city center of Cologne. Appropriate prevention measures are planned for the next few weeks to increase the safety of citizens. This arrest is another step in police efforts to rid the streets of drugs and related crime. By seizing the narcotics and the deal money, a very successful result is visible for the Cologne officials.
In order to get the problems surrounding drug abuse and trafficking under control, the support of the population is essential. If citizens observe suspicious activity, they are asked to report it to the police so that timely action can be taken.
We would like to thank the police for their tireless efforts and constant success in combating drug-related crime in Cologne. Further information and developments on this case are expected in the coming days.
