Drug raid in Dresden: Four men in custody - 140 kilos of marijuana seized!
On September 10, 2025, the Dresden public prosecutor's office and the Saxony State Criminal Police Office arrested four men aged 28, 31, 32 and 34. They are accused of dealing in large quantities of narcotics. According to the investigators, the suspects are said to have purchased up to 140 kilograms of marijuana and other drugs for resale in Dresden between 2020 and 2021. This urgent suspicion is based on logs from chat conversations via the encrypted provider SkyECC, which led the investigators on the men's trail.
On the same day, the existing arrest warrants were executed by the investigating judge at the Dresden District Court. The four suspects are currently in custody while the investigation continues to progress and is expected to take some time.
Searches uncover evidence
As part of their extensive investigations, the police and the State Criminal Police Office found extensive evidence during searches in Dresden and Berlin. The seized items include not only narcotics, but also specialized laboratory technology that could be used for drug production. The officers also discovered around 40,000 euros in cash and various storage media that may contain further information about the suspects' activities.
Dealing with narcotics is an issue that cannot be ignored in other parts of Germany. Latest statistics of the Federal Drug Commissioner show that young adults between the ages of 18 and 64 are particularly susceptible to addiction to various substances. In addition to marijuana, the substances affected also include stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines. The numbers make it clear that the drug problem has far-reaching social effects.
The investigation into the four arrested men could be part of a larger phenomenon that keeps coming to light in Dresden and other cities. Current developments highlight the challenges that law enforcement authorities have to face on a daily basis.
