The drug dealers are said to have sold large quantities of cocaine and marijuana. The main perpetrator is a 20-year-old from the Mattersburg district, reported the Burgenland State Police Directorate on Friday. Four of the five suspects were taken to the Eisenstadt prison.

Weapons and Cash Secured

At the end of 2024, the Burgenland State Criminal Police Office became aware that a 20-year-old, already convicted in 2023, was allegedly operating a busy drug trade together with a 19-year-old. The older individual had built a network with several accomplices. On Monday, five people from Austria were finally arrested.

In the apartments, several drugs such as cocaine, cannabis products, and XTC tablets were secured. At the main perpetrator's residence in the Mattersburg district, cash in the high five-figure euro range and a handgun were also found. Two more pistols were discovered with other suspects.
