Raid on the A96: Police sniff out drug smugglers!

An impressive police spectacle took place on Monday evening, October 28, 2024, on the A96 motorway near Memmingen. A huge contingent of forces from the motorway police, the airport police and the border police did everything possible to thoroughly check the traffic towards Lindau. The entire vehicle traffic was led over the Burgacker car park, which was brightly lit to support the police controls. Every single car was the focus of the law enforcement officers, who woke up with practitioner and trained view of the action.

The officials requested driver's licenses, ID cards and vehicle documents before the occupants had to get out in order to be checked for possibly dangerous items. Trained veil investigators took a close look at the security features of the documents and carried out them directly in the search system. But that was just the beginning! Looked at the vehicles and ransacked the case, the police had everything under control. With a police dog at her side, who tirelessly sniffed drugs, there were numerous finds that underpinned the success of the control. Even the specialized trained officials for heavy-duty and dangerous goods transport had their hands full- brakes, exhaust gases, load securing and compliance with the regulations were the focus here.

The drone unit of the South/West police headquarters monitored the scene from the air and ensured that everything went smoothly. Only a few drivers were upset about the delays - and the police always had an open ear to explain the meaningfulness of these controls. The commitment of the officials was also remarkable when checking vans. Some drivers had to watch their vehicle unloaded!

The police will publish the summary of the packed finds and initiated procedures on Tuesday, October 30, 2024. It will be interesting to see which sensational details will come to light. The control time from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. made it clear to everyone: Such action is essential! Hand in hand, the officials work against crime and increase security on the streets, which is obviously more than necessary in the success of the controls!
