Kilograms of Drugs Seized in Apartment in Vienna-Favoriten

A large quantity of narcotics was secured by the police during the search of an apartment on July 19 in Vienna-Favoriten. Among them were more than 45 kilos of marijuana.

Additionally, 2,078.5 grams of cocaine and 2,051 ecstasy tablets were found. Furthermore, 1,213.4 grams of cannabis resin/hashish, 452.8 grams of crystalline MDMA, 1,742.6 grams of amphetamine, and 1,696.3 grams of ketamine were secured - as well as 94 THC vaporizers, 302 packages of illegal potency drugs each containing seven portions, and 89,405 euros in cash. The apartment apparently served as a so-called "narcotics bunker," and three suspected drug dealers were arrested. They are Austrians aged 22, 29, and 32. According to a statement from the Vienna police on Monday, they were taken to a detention center.

Suspect Weighed Nearly 300 Kilos - Disaster Vehicle in Use

A suspect could only be transported with a disaster vehicle due to his enormous overweight, as a police spokesman told the APA on Monday. The officers found him in bed. The arrest of the unkempt man weighing nearly 300 kilos was extremely difficult, as the 29-year-old was out of breath after just a few steps. Additionally, a disaster vehicle had to be requested because the Austrian did not fit into a normal car.

The case had already attracted media attention in August, as normal accommodation in prison is not possible. The man thereby incurs significantly more costs than a normal-weight prisoner.
