Title: Uncovered Stash: Three Suspects Arrested in Drug Bust in Berlin-Tempelhof
In an apartment nestled in Berlin-Tempelhof, the scent of contraband led police to a bust filled with drugs and cash. Three individuals, two young men in their late 20s and a man in his mid-40s, found themselves detained in the wake of the discovery. The 28-year-old and 29-year-old were set to appear before a magistrate on Thursday, while the 46-year-old was taken to a specialized police unit.
An afternoon vehicle check outside a home in Manteuffelstraße provided the initial lead for law enforcement. Officers detected a potent cannabis aroma emanating from the 28-year-old suspect, prompting a more thorough investigation. A trove of cannabis packets were unearthed during a search, initiating a chain of events that soon involved two more individuals.
The 29-year-old, also on the scene, held drugs in his possession. The nature of these substances stretched beyond just cannabis, encompassing cocaine as well. The investigation eventually led police to the apartment of a 46-year-old occupant in the same building. After seizing a substantial quantity of cash and drugs, as well as a safe containing further illicit substances, the man was apprehended along with the other two suspects.
All three are now under investigation for drug trafficking. The second driver was allegedly utilizing the apartment for regular drug use. Police referred to the vehicles involved in this case as "coke cabs" on social media platform X.
The confiscated drugs and the earnings from their sale have historically been linked to the prevalence of violent crime. Authorities suspect that the detained individuals are implicated in additional drug-related offenses beyond simple possession and distribution.
While the exact amount of drugs and money seized remains undisclosed at this time, further investigations should shed light on these details in the near future.
