Raid in Südbrandenburg: Drug gang with 10 kilos of drugs blown!

In a determined blow to drug crime, the police in South Brandenburg arrested four suspected members of a drug gang on June 19, 2025. The arrests took place in the context of extensive investigations, which also included searches in Berlin and Beelitz. The suspects, including three men and a woman between the ages of 40 and 54, are suspected of acting actively in drug trafficking. It is particularly revealing that two of the arrested men are now in custody.

The police could not only ensure about ten kilograms of drugs, but also several thousand euros in cash and material for drug production. The drugs found in the inserts include cocaine, cannabis and crystal meth, which underlines the complexity and the scope of the alleged drug trade. "These are not small fish that we have made," said an investigator. This is also confirmed by the [TAG24] (https://www.tag24.de/justiz/schlag- against--drogen- Festival-nachrazzien-in-and-beelitz-3396188) that highlights the extensive measures.

drug crime on the advance

The current arrests are no coincidence, because drug crime in Germany is increasing. According to Statista, around 347,000 cases of drug or drug crime were recorded in 2023. This corresponds to an increase of 2 percent compared to the previous year. It is particularly worth mentioning that around 208,000 of these cases affect cannabis, the consumption of which has been partially legalized since April 2024.

Nevertheless, cannabis is still the main actor in the drug market: over 90 percent of drug cases are eliminated on this substance. But the number of drug trade offenses is also remarkable: around 55,500 such offenses were registered in 2023, which illustrates the drug problem in Germany. Drug crime is not only an important topic for the police, but also for society - the number of drug -related deaths increases alarming. In 2023, around 2,230 people died of the consequences of drug abuse, which are often due to long -term health damage.

These arrests in Brandenburg impressively show that the efforts of the Law Enforcement crews are required to take this growing trend. A clear sign that you no longer watch in the ranks of the drug dealers and decide against organized crime.
