Stolen bicycle tracked with AirTag reveals drugs depot and illegal weapon
According to B.T., a simple recovery of a stolen bicycle ended on Tuesday morning with the arrest of a 41-year-old man charged with bicycle theft, drug dealing and illegal weapons possession.
At 09:41, Mid- and West Zealand Police responded to an address after a citizen had tracked his stolen bicycle via an AirTag. At the scene, officers encountered a man and a woman, both of whom appeared to be under the influence, and police decided to search the address with a drugs dog.
The search yielded a significant result. There were found 57 grams of amphetamine, 70 grams of cannabis products as well as smaller quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine. Added to this were a digital scale, sales bags and a larger sum of cash — findings that, according to police, indicate that the narcotics were presumably intended for resale.
The most surprising find, however, was a weapon: a starter pistol that had been converted to be able to fire live ammunition.
This is stated in Mid- and West Zealand Police's daily report on Wednesday.
The 41-year-old man is charged with bicycle theft, possession of narcotics with intent to resell and illegal weapons possession. The citizen whose bicycle was stolen got the vehicle back.
