Suspect from drug milieu fleetingly after a large police operation

In Wiener Neustadt, a disturbing incident has unfolded when the state criminal offices of Lower Austria and Vienna searched for a suspect from the drug milieu. The latter had used the opportunity on Monday evening and escaped what resulted in an elaborate large -scale deployment of the police.

That evening, the residents were temporarily asked not to leave their apartments, while the security forces were intensively searching the surroundings. The suspect is in connection with organized drug crime, which illustrates the extent of the operation. Police spokesman Johann Baumschlager said that the investigation is led by the state criminal offices and local police departments.

searches and discoveries

In the course of the search measures, an empty apartment building was targeted. There the police discovered a fist firearm and several cannabis plantations. This property, according to Baumschlager, could be controlled by a criminal association.

The discovery of the plantations came about after employees of an energy supplier raised the alarm due to high electricity invoices. During a review, it was found that the fuse box had been manipulated, which ultimately led to the clarification of the illegal activities. The police had initiated several measures, including the use of drones and service dogs, to thoroughly examine the premises. Although the emergency services mobilized all conceivable means, the suspect managed to escape the arrest.

The investigation is now focusing on suspicion of addictive crime and the formation of a criminal association. On Tuesday, among other things, the securing of evidence and the further evaluation of the secured evidence were on the agenda. This shows the commitment of the authorities to pursue these cases and restore public security. For detailed information on the ongoing investigations, a report on www.diepresse.com be called.
