Overview
- The coordinated operation, which unfolded Tuesday, searched 21 properties across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg with about 290 officers.
- Investigators seized drugs in kilogram quantities, including hard narcotics and marijuana, along with weapons, cash in the thousands of euros, and tools used to sell drugs.
- Police arrested four suspects — three men aged 28, 29 and 44, and a 34-year-old woman — on allegations of trafficking in not insignificant quantities and violating weapons laws.
- Searches focused on Demmin and nearby Jördenstorf and included a clubhouse tied to the rocker scene, and during the Demmin search officers shot a dog that attacked them.
- Authorities say the wider case remains active as they analyze evidence, and decisions on bringing detainees before a judge for custody rulings are pending.
