Stolen bicycle revealed drug depot and illegal weapon in Køge
A citizen got his stolen bicycle back on Tuesday morning – but the discoveries at the address went far beyond a simple bike theft. This emerges from the Mid- and West Zealand Police's daily report, as referenced by B.T.
At 09.41, police were called to an address on Strandvejen in Køge after the bicycle's owner had tracked it via an AirTag. At the scene, officers found a man and a woman, who both appeared to be intoxicated, and this triggered a search with a drugs dog.
The result was significant: 57 grammes of amphetamine, 70 grammes of hashish products and smaller quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine were seized. In addition, police found a digital scales, small sales bags and a larger cash sum – findings that according to police suggest the drugs were likely intended for resale.
A weapon also turned up during the search. It was a starting pistol that had been converted to be able to fire live ammunition.
The 41-year-old man at the address is charged with bicycle theft, possession of narcotics for the purpose of resale and illegal possession of a weapon. The bicycle's rightful owner recovered the vehicle the same day.
