Suspected drug dealer trio in custody
Following the discovery of around 17 kilograms of marijuana, 300 grams of cocaine and a sharp firearm, three men have been remanded in custody. The trio, aged between 23 and 45, are suspected of drug trafficking, the police announced on Friday. The drugs were found by officers on Wednesday in three apartments in Eggenfelden and Triftern (Rottal-Inn district) and Mettenheim (Mühldorf am Inn district) and in a car.
Investigators also discovered the pistol and ammunition in the car. The 42-year-old driver of the car was unable to produce a firearms license. According to the police, four other suspects were also arrested for suspected drug dealing. However, a judge only ordered pre-trial detention for the trio.
The drug seizure took place in Lower Bavaria, specifically in Eggenfelden and Triftern, as well as Mettenheim, which are all part of the Rottal-Inn and Mühldorf am Inn districts. The criminal activity is suspected to extend beyond just drug trafficking, as investigators also found a weapon in Upper Bavaria.
