Law enforcement seizes significant cash and a vehicle during a routine traffic stop.
In an unexpected turn of events, Cologne police stopped a vehicle on August 26 in the evening in the district of Köln-Kalk. The vehicle, a BMW, and a significant sum of money were seized during the traffic control.
The occupants of the vehicle, a 38-year-old and a 44-year-old, were stopped around 21:45. The police report states that the vehicle had Polish license plates and the occupants provided contradictory statements about the alleged owner of the vehicle.
