Raid in Nauen: Brandenburg's largest drug laboratory uncovered!
In the last few days, a massive police operation in Nauen caused a stir. The emergency services, including the Berlin-Brandenburg customs investigation and the state police, have been busy clearing out a huge drug laboratory for a week. The disposal work is expected to be completed on Wednesday, as rbb24.de reports. The scene is in an industrial area on the outskirts of Nauen.
The laboratory, which was only recently discovered, turned out to be the largest that operations manager Henner Grote has ever seen in his 31 years of experience. In total, the investigators seized around 400 kilograms of drugs with a sales value of almost five million euros. Drugs found include clophedrone and clephedrone, which are related to mephedrone. The investigators also found large quantities of chemical substances that were needed to produce the addictive drugs.
Intensive investigations and harsh punishments
The searches and clean-up work are just the beginning of an extensive investigation. Two men, 41 and 50 years old, have already been taken into custody. They are accused of “community gang-related illicit trafficking in narcotics in large quantities,” which carries a minimum penalty of five years in prison. The investigators are now likely to look into how long this laboratory has been in operation and where the drugs produced were supposed to be delivered. Initial indications suggest that a large part of the goods went to Berlin, as groove.de notes.
During the searches, officers discovered a variety of equipment and chemicals used to produce synthetic drugs, including crystal meth. They found, among other things, freezers, barrels and acetone, as well as a number of containers and garbage that had been left behind. Access to the hall is restricted because there are health risks from the chemical substances stored there. Anyone who wants to enter the hall must wear a gas mask to protect themselves.
Conclusion and outlook
Given the dimensions of this drug laboratory and the dangers associated with it, the action of the authorities is of the utmost urgency. The cleanup is a step in the right direction, but investigators still face the challenge of unraveling the full extent of the crime. With each passing hour, it becomes clearer how important the fight against this illegal drug trade is to protect society and minimize the dangers posed by such criminal enterprises.
