Great drug raid: police smash Serbian cannabis network!

A large drug raid in Lower Austria and Vienna led to the arrest of eight people who are suspected of having operated professionally organized cannabis indoor plantations on November 15, 2024. Investigators of the State Criminal Police Office in Lower Austria and the district police command Neunkirchen had investigated for over a year against a Serbian group of perpetrators who operated illegal drug trafficking in the region. Drugs worth around 850,000 euros were ensured, such as 5min.at

The police found large quantities of drugs during searches in several apartments, including 12 kilograms of cannabis cabbage and 1 kilogram of cocaine in an apartment in the 10th Viennese district as well as 2 kilograms of heroin and a loaded weapon in another apartment in the 16th district. The accused, a 34-year-old Austrian, was arrested. In addition, the officials determined that the group of perpetrators had manipulated their electricity meters in order to save costs for the enormous energy requirements of the plantations, which led to a damage of around 1.5 million euros, such as meinbezirk.at supplemented.
