Several kilograms of drugs found: Suspect in custody
Several kilograms of marijuana and amphetamine have been found in a car on the Autobahn 3 near Hösbach (district of Aschaffenburg). Two young men were provisionally arrested and a 22-year-old is now in custody, according to a statement from the police and the public prosecutor's office on Monday. The 22-year-old man is also said to have been driving under the influence of cocaine on Friday.
Both men were brought before an investigating judge, but the suspicions against the 24-year-old co-driver were reportedly not confirmed. The driver is being investigated on suspicion of illegal importation of narcotics.
The discovery of illegal substances led to an increase in traffic disruptions due to the police investigation in the UNDERFRONT of the Autobahn 3. Despite the arrest, crime rates in the area haven't seen a significant decrease, highlighting the broader issue of drug-related crimes in traffic.
