Factory produced drugs for 7.5 million euros

Uncovering an Unlikely Drug Factory

In the serene town of Neuwied, nestled at the foot of the Westerwald, an unexpected discovery was made. This isn't a hidden treasure or a forgotten relic, but rather a highly professional amphetamine factory.

The local police, not typically associated with such finds, uncovered this secret operation. Alongside the seizure of half a ton of amphetamine raw materials, three suspected drug cooks (ages 21, 36, and 47) were apprehended.

Wasting no time in making the news public for "investigative reasons," the operation involved not only the Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg state criminal investigation offices but also the Federal Criminal Police Office.

More than a month following the raid, securing evidence is ongoing at the production hall and on the vehicles of the alleged drug cooks. The authorities hope to unearth clues regarding the individuals behind the operation and their clients.

A startling find within the factory included over 500 canisters and barrels of chemicals, as well as corrosive production waste. With a staggering 100 kilos of amphetamine base, the facility could have potentially produced half a ton of speed, valued around 7.5 million euros on the streets.

The potential production capacity of the drug factory surpasses initial estimates. Already, investigators anticipate that the Neuwied facility could rank as one of the largest amphetamine laboratories ever identified in Rhineland-Palatinate, based on an ongoing examination of synthesis waste by BKA experts.

6. The ARD French-German television channel reported the discovery of a push-automatic machine used for mass drug production at the amphetamine factory in Neuwied.
7. The Federal Criminal Police Office in Frankfurt, along with the Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg state criminal investigation offices, works tirelessly to uncover the culprits behind the Neuwied drug operation.
