Drug swamp in Vienna: Six arrests and six kilos of crystal meth ensured
In a great success in the fight against drug crime, the operational group to combat street crime Vienna (EGS) carried out several arrests in Vienna at the beginning of May. The investigation was initiated due to suspicious activities in the 7th district of Vienna, especially in Kenyongasse. On May 8, police officers noticed two men aged 25 and 33, who handled with a red cooling bag, which led to an intensive observation.
In the course of this surveillance, the men drove to Steinbauergasse, where a 39-year-old man got into the car. When he left the vehicle again, he was checked and a kilogram of crystal meth was secured. This led to the arrest of the 39-year-old, while the 25-year-old returned to the Kenyongasse, which made the police assume that there was a so-called bunker apartment.search and arrest
The subsequent search of the premises in the Kenyongasse confirmed the investigators' assumption. A total of around five kilograms of crystal meth and cash of 38,745 euros were secured. This was a significant blow to drug trafficking in the region, since a total of six kilograms of crystal meth and over 38,000 euros in cash were confiscated in the missions. In addition to the 25-year-old, three other men, Serbian citizens between the ages of 25 and 33, were arrested. These arrests took place as part of a comprehensive investigation that was directed against an organized drug network.
In addition to the arrests in the Kenyongasse, another apartment was located and searched, in which 64.1 grams of cocaine were secured. This expands the framework of the investigation that continues to target the background and possible other participants in drug trade.
continued investigation
The investigations of the EGS continue to identify the structures behind the drug trafficking and any backers. Several arrests and a significant discovery of drugs impress with the constant cooperation between the police with the population, which reported suspicious processes. The police are calling on to be careful in the future and provide relevant information in order to continue to ensure security in Vienna. Further information can be found on ORF Vienna .
