Drug rush on two wheels: trial against drug dealers opened!

The trial began at the Osnabrück regional court against a man and a woman who are accused of drug trafficking and violating the weapons law. Both defendants did not provide any information at the start of the trial. The incident on which the prosecution is based occurred last summer in downtown Osnabrück. The defendants are said to have driven a motorcycle over 100 km/h to avoid a traffic stop before ultimately crashing. During the subsequent check, the police discovered a kilogram of marijuana and 50 grams of cocaine in her backpack. In addition, the couple's apartment in Münster was searched, where additional drugs, a submachine gun and cash were found. A total of five days of negotiations are scheduled for the process ndr.de reported.

Another incident that sheds light on the drug problem in Osnabrück occurred on September 4, 2022. The Osnabrück police station carried out a traffic check on the A30 at the Hellern junction. While checking a Polish rental vehicle, officers noticed a suspicious smell. The 28-year-old driver, a Polish citizen, handed the police a small amount of marijuana. However, upon closer inspection, officers found over 12 kilograms of amphetamine, which was transported in seven vacuum-sealed packages wrapped in black foil. The street value of the seized narcotics was over 125,000 euros. It is suspected that the driver was under the influence of intoxicants, so a blood sample was taken. The driver was then brought before the Osnabrück district court, where custody was ordered rtl.de reported.
