Drug raid in Lüneburg: police seize cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis
Investigators from Lüneburg police searched five properties in the city last Thursday and made extensive drug discoveries. During the raids, officers found substantial quantities of cocaine, amphetamines and marijuana. They also secured packaging materials, cash in considerable amounts, as well as various documents and storage media.
The investigation initially focused on two men aged 25 and 54. According to police statements, they had had the pair under observation for some time. Both are suspected of trading in narcotics in the Lüneburg urban area – particularly in the Kaltenmoor district and in the city centre. A judge issued an arrest warrant on Friday against the younger suspect on suspicion of unlawful trading in controlled substances. Pre-trial detention was also ordered against the 54-year-old man and a further woman.
The search operation is part of an intensified crackdown by Lüneburg police against drug trafficking in the region. The authorities state that they have been deliberately targeting dealers in the city for weeks. The investigations in the case are ongoing. Further details on the exact quantities of the seized substances or possible connections to larger drug networks have not yet been disclosed.
