Over 100 Kilograms of Cannabis Seized in Werder, Two Arrested in Cross‑Border Probe

Investigators say the shipment came from elsewhere in Europe after inquiries halted its delivery.

Overview

  • Police in Werder (Havel) confiscated more than 100 kilograms of cannabis on 3 September and detained two suspects aged 34 and 38.
  • Officials report the consignment originated in another European country, with its delivery intercepted following work by the state criminal police and prosecutors.
  • Searches in Werder and Berlin secured vehicles, data carriers, smartphones and a blank‑firing weapon, with forensic analysis and follow‑up investigations underway.
  • In a separate case in Kiel, officers found about 500 grams of marijuana and 1 kilogram of cocaine in a 20‑year‑old’s backpack, then seized roughly 1.5 kilograms of marijuana and 100 grams of cocaine at his home on suspicion of dealing.
  • Police operations in Rüsselsheim led to two drug‑dealing investigations, cash and a telescopic baton seized, and traffic enforcement actions under the ‘Sichere Innenstadt’ program supported by Hessian riot police.
