Raid in Peine: 8 kilos of cocaine secured - suspect arrested!

In a large -scale use, authorities in Peine have now ensured a considerable amount of drugs. The Central Criminal Inspectorate Braunschweig carried out search measures in Peine and Uelzen on June 25, 2025, at the request of the Hildesheim public prosecutor. Over 8 kilograms of cocaine and an average five -digit sum of cash were confiscated. Two 38-year-old men who are considered to be suspects were temporarily arrested and are now faced with arrest warrants who were issued due to the risk of escape. Interestingly, the accused did not comment on the allegations raised, which does not make the investigation easy.

The latest searches are part of a comprehensive strategy to combat drug trafficking. As early as July of the previous year, the officials in Braunschweig had ensured 3.5 kilograms of cocaine, which underlined the intensity of the ongoing investigations. Experts from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) emphasize that combating internationally organized drug crime is one of their central tasks. Rogue crime, as defined in Germany, includes all crimes in accordance with the Narcotics Act (BTMG) and represents a significant threat to internal security.

challenges in drug trafficking

Drug crime is an important part of organized crime that threatens security in Germany and beyond. An increase in drug production worldwide has led to classic drugs like cocaine more and more accessible. In 2023, around 347,000 drug crime cases were recorded in Germany, which corresponds to an increase of 2 percent compared to the previous year. These figures make it clear how strong the pressure on the security authorities is to act against illegal drug trafficking.

Drug crime is dominated primarily by trading in cannabis, which has been partially legal since April 2024, but the numbers also represent a serious threat. The authorities also have to counteract the growing market for new psychoactive substances (NPS), which often appear unexpectedly and cause similar effects to conventional drugs. This is often associated with health and social problems that should not be underestimated.

strategies for combating

The BKA's initiative not only includes classic drugs such as heroin and cocaine, but also synthetic drugs and illegal sales on the Internet. This requires highly specialized investigation to identify and arrest the groups of perpetrators. The handling of chemicals that are used for illegal drug production is also strictly regulated.

Overall, the challenge for the law enforcement authorities remains enormous. Despite the successes achieved in the fight against drugs, the supply pressure and the demand for narcotics remains high. This is underlined by the multiple mention of drug deaths in Germany, which rose to around 2,230 in 2023 and usually suffer from the long -term damage to drug use. The police will continue to do everything possible to protect citizens and smash criminal structures to ensure a safe society.

The current decision of the police in Peine is just a further step in a long and complex fight against drug crime. Let's be excited to see how the situation will develop.
