Surveillance efforts primarily target the burgeoning drug market, with a particular emphasis on apprehending suspected drug traffickers (46)
On Sunday, 17th August, a targeted operation led to the arrest of two men in Germany. The Special Deployment Unit was involved in the arrests, which occurred later in the day.
The first arrest was made at around 3:30 PM. A 34-year-old man was suspected of physically harassing a woman at the Neumarkt bus stop. No further information was given about his alleged drug dealing activities. It is also noted that he does not have a fixed residence in Germany.
The second arrest followed later in the day. A 46-year-old man was observed conducting a "drug deal" in Lungengasse at around 4:45 PM. During a subsequent check, officers found crack, several hundred euros in deal money, and a concealed knife on the 46-year-old. He is also suspected of sexual harassment, like the 34-year-old.
The location of the arrests was not specified in the article. However, the 46-year-old's arrest is presumably connected to a crime on Lungengasse on the same day. No specific details linking him to that crime have been publicly disclosed.
The 34-year-old is to be brought before a judge later in the day. The 46-year-old's name has not been released in the available information. The investigation is ongoing.
