Crystal Meth Bunker Apartment Discovered in Vienna-Neubau

The starting point of the operations on May 8 was the observation of a suspicious duo in Vienna-Neubau.

According to a statement from the Vienna State Police Directorate, the two men (aged 25 and 33) exhibited "drug scene typical" behavior when they were observed by EGS officers handling a red cooler bag in Kenyongasse. The 25-year-old drove with a car and the cooler bag to Steinbauergasse in Vienna-Meidling, where another man (39) got into the car and left the vehicle shortly after with a larger plastic container. This led to the first of five arrests that day, as the 39-year-old was stopped and it turned out that he had about one kilogram of Crystal Meth with him.

Suspicion of Bunker Apartment in Vienna-Neubau Confirmed During Search

It continued at the starting point Kenyongasse: Since the 25-year-old returned there after the alleged drug handover, investigators suspected that they had discovered a so-called bunker apartment. The search of the premises, which could be carried out after consultation with the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, confirmed the assumption: another five kilograms of Crystal Meth and cash amounting to 38,745 euros were found.

Further arrests were also made in the apartment that day: In addition to the 25-year-old, three other men (also Serbian nationals aged between 25 and 33) were arrested, including the suspect who had previously been seen on the street with the 25-year-old and the red cooler bag.

The EGS operation was not yet over, as further investigations led to the location and search of another apartment. There, the police secured an additional 64.1 grams of drugs, this time cocaine.
