Drug surveillance at road intersections

In the early hours of Sunday, 24th August, a significant drug seizure took place in Cologne-Holweide, Germany. The incident unfolded when police stopped a Ford Fiesta on Neufelder Straße, leading to the arrest of a 24-year-old man suspected of being a street dealer.

Upon stopping the vehicle, officers discovered two ready-to-sell packages of cannabis in the dashboard compartment. As the investigation progressed, a search of the vehicle revealed several units of cannabis, amphetamine, and prescription medication. The search also yielded a precision scale, various packaging materials, and additional packets of cocaine and bags of amphetamine hidden in the suspect's underwear.

The circumstances leading to the traffic stop were not detailed in the article. However, a drug test on the driver tested positive for several substances. The man, who is currently homeless, does not currently possess a valid driver's license.

Following the seizure, a judge ordered the 24-year-old to be held in investigative custody. The officers took him to the station, where a blood sample was taken. The exact quantities of each type of narcotic seized were not specified in the article, nor is the name of the arrested individual publicly available.

This seizure marks another success in the ongoing efforts of the Cologne police force to combat drug-related crimes in the city. The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activities to the authorities to aid in these efforts.
