Drug raid in Cologne: 40,000 euros and LSD discovered in the underpants!

On Saturday, July 5th, there was a spectacular commitment of the civil servants of the Mülheim focus group in Cologne-Mülheim. During a traffic control on the corner of Frankfurter Straße / Montanusstraße, a 27-year-old driver and his 35-year-old passenger were stopped, who carried several packages of illegal substances and a considerable amount of cash. In the car, the officials not only found LSD, cocaine and cannabis, but also several hundred euros in cash in a bag and other thousand euros in the driver's pocket, such as Rheinische-Verschwtebblaetter.de reported.

Probably not enough, the police discovered the next amount of money when the driver was searched for, which was even hidden in his underpants. An informed attempt to avoid the discovery that did not help him. This also had the investigators searched for the 27-year-old's apartment in Hürth.

family gang and resistance

But it wasn't just the apartment in Hürth. The objects in the familiar environment of the drug driver were also targeted. In an apartment in Cologne-Weiß, the officers met with a real accumulation of drugs and cash. Over 40,000 euros in cash had accumulated there, plus ten bags with the so -called "Magic Mushrooms" and other drugs such as cocaine and MDMA. These finds border on madness and show the deeply rooted problem of drug trafficking in the region.

The situation escalated during the searches when several family members resisted. This led to additional criminal complaints. Ultimately, the 27-year-old, his 35-year-old Compagnon and the 59-year-old mother of the driver were arrested, such as [ksta.de] (https://www.ksta.de/koelner/koelner-polize-polmay-massliche-daler-nach- Hausfrei-fest-1060001) reported.

drug crime in focus

The previous events again provide an insight into the worrying drug crime in Germany. According to Statista, around 347,000 drug crime cases were recorded in 2023, which is 2 percent increase compared to the previous year. Cannabis in particular remains a central aspect in this matter, as it often works in the network of drug trafficking together with other drugs such as MDMA and cocaine.

Drug crime is not only a challenge for the police, but also a great health and social problem. The increase in drug deaths in Germany, which rose to around 2,230 in 2023, is particularly worrying. These developments require quick action and effective strategies to combat drug dangers.
