Hamburg Raid Uncovers Suspected Drug Lab With 44 Kilos of Cocaine

Tips about solvent deliveries led to the judge-approved search that now targets the haul's origin.

Overview

  • Police from LKA 62 searched an apartment on Vörn Brook in Schnelsen on Tuesday evening under a judicial warrant.
  • Officers seized about 44 kilograms of cocaine, roughly 4.6 kilograms of hashish, and numerous chemicals and solvents.
  • Three men were detained at the scene—two Spanish nationals aged 34 and 53 and a 41-year-old Dominican—after processing, they were taken to remand pending a pretrial detention decision.
  • The warrant followed leads from the Joint Investigation Group Rauschgift Lübeck, and special units supported the operation as investigators assessed the site as a processing setup.
  • Authorities are probing possible ties to a wider distribution network and the drugs’ shipment origins, with no confirmed link to the Port of Hamburg.
