Raid in Nauen: drug laboratory discovered with 100 kilos of party drugs!
In the Havelland district, the police, in cooperation with customs investigators, uncovered a large drug laboratory. During an extensive operation that took place on October 29, 2025, two suspects were arrested and more than 200,000 euros in cash and around 100 kilos of finished drugs were seized. How Time online According to reports, the laboratory was located in a rented warehouse in an industrial area. Among other things, 3-CMC and 4-CMC were found here, substances that are known for their use as party drugs.
In addition to the already finished drugs, investigators discovered large quantities of chemical substances necessary for drug production. Although the lab was one of the largest discoveries of its kind, the exact extent of the operation remains to be seen, as analysis of the chemicals is expected to take several days. At his first appearance after the discoveries, a speaker described the laboratory as the largest he had ever seen. This finding underlines the dimensions of the drug trade that the authorities are combating.
Significant police deployment
The raid was a large-scale police operation: initially around 120, later as many as 150 emergency services were involved. The operation included both federal and state police officers from Berlin and Brandenburg. The investigation, which has been running since May 2025, is being led by the Frankfurt (Oder) public prosecutor's office. The health risks in the laboratory could not be underestimated, so access was only permitted with a gas mask.
Drug scene in Germany
The discovery in Nauen is part of a series of similar incidents in Germany. In July 2024, for example, a drug laboratory with almost 200 kilograms of MDMA worth 10.4 million euros was uncovered in Essen. In this case, the Essen customs investigation office, under the direction of the Aachen public prosecutor's office, determined that the gangs of perpetrators were suspected of wanting to produce and distribute synthetic drugs as gangs. The amount of raw materials uncovered through border controls led to extensive investigations in Hückelhoven and Nettetal, which also included other internationally coordinated eavesdropping attacks in Belgium and the Netherlands, as reported by the WDR and Zoll.de mentioned.
These developments shed light on the dynamics of the drug market and the enormous efforts of the authorities to dismantle such structures. The operations show that the police and customs authorities are taking decisive action against drug trafficking in order to protect society from the dangers of synthetic drugs.
