Drug trafficking operation from warehouse uncovered in Josephstadt
According to a police.hu report, investigators from the BRFK Anti-Drug Crime Unit conducted a raid on an eighth-district flat on 10 November 2026 after residents reported signs of drug trafficking.
At the location, a 44-year-old woman and her 21-year-old son were subjected to a house search. Officers seized 1.3 grammes of white crystalline material wrapped in foil, 66 grammes of green plant material, and more than 800,000 forints and 800 euros in cash at the flat.
The woman also rented a storage facility nearby. During a search of that location, investigators found 930 grammes of white crystalline substance suspected to be a drug, 7,000,000 forints and 11,160 euros in cash, a digital scale, glass pipes, and other dealing equipment. Preliminary expert examination established that the crystalline material contains N-ethylnorpentedrone – a substance sold on the black market under the street name "crystal".
Á. L. and G. H. were arrested and made no statements during questioning. Both were taken into custody, and investigators initiated proceedings for their detention.
