Strike against drug trafficking in Schwandorf: three suspects

Previously, there had been investigations into suspected drug trafficking against a 42-year-old and a 30-year-old from the Schwandorf district.

"The knowledge gained from this indicated that the 30-year-old acted as a dealer for Crystal in the Schwandorf urban area and that the 42-year-old supported him in this," the press release says.

Finally, a suspected supplier, a 44-year-old from the district, was identified as a possible backer.

The arrests were made during a drug delivery on Saturday (June 11).
