At the end of June, the Maghreb task force (State Criminal Police Office Vienna, West Branch) struck with the support of EKO Cobra during the unloading of drugs in the south of Vienna and seized hundreds of kilograms.

317.125 kilograms of cannabis herb, 10.225 kg of resin, and almost 22,000 euros in cash were seized, the police reported on Tuesday. In addition, three suspects were arrested.

The suspects, part of a North African-Serbian criminal group, had driven a truck with foreign license plates to a wholesale market for food and flowers. There, they were in the process of transferring several boxes filled with narcotics into a van when the authorities intervened.

Drug Discovery in Vienna: Caught in the Act

Three Bosnians, a 28-year-old, a 36-year-old, and a 52-year-old, were caught in the act. The van already contained eleven boxes with cannabis herb and resin, and the truck had 25 more. The suspects are currently in a detention center, and further investigations are ongoing, which is why the origin and destination of the drugs have not been disclosed by the police.
