Police in Upper Franconia made a surprising discovery during a routine traffic stop on the A93 highway near Thiersheim. A 35-year-old man, riding shotgun, had concealed three plastic containers in his underwear, holding hundreds of doping pills. The containers held approximately twenty times the legal limit of doping pills. The man, whose identity has not been revealed, had attempted to smuggle the drugs across the border from the Czech Republic. The discovery was made during a border check, as police stopped the car on the autobahn. The man was arrested, and the doping pills were seized. Authorities are investigating the incident and will determine the appropriate charges.
