Drug scandal in Deggendorf: Residents jump out of the window from the window!

Drug scandal in Deggendorf: Residents jump out of the window from the window!

In the city center of Deggendorf, there was a spectacular police operation today, which not only caused excitement, but also contained a special attempt to escape. Investigators of the Deggendorf criminal police station, supported by the central operating services Straubing, searched for a apartment building as part of their investigations against several suspicious residents. According to Police Bavaria, these are suspected of acting with narcotics.

The search decision was issued by the Deggendorf district court and enabled the officials to inspect the suspects' apartments. Four people aged 23, 25, 30, and 33 years were affected in this assignment. It became particularly dramatic when the 33-year-old resident jumped out of the window on the 2nd floor when opening the apartment. He contracted serious, but luckily not life -threatening injuries and was immediately admitted to a hospital.

Investigations continue to run

The current state of the investigation remains vague according to the police, since no detailed information on the result of the searches could be given. However, the team of the Deggendorf criminal police works closely with the Deggendorf public prosecutor to define further steps. Such operations are not uncommon if you look at the current developments related to drug crime in Germany.

In 2023, around 347,000 cases were registered in the field of drug crime nationwide, which corresponds to an increase of 2 percent compared to the previous year. Around 208,000 of these cases concerned cannabis, whose legal status has been partially changed since April 1, 2024, but the trade remains a hot iron. In cities such as Deggendorf in particular, drug -related offenses are repeatedly reported, which shows that there is a need for action here. Statista documents that cannabis is the most important substance in these offenses.

a worrying problem

The numbers speak a clear language: In 2023, around 55,500 drug trade offenses were recorded, with cannabis playing a dominant role here too. The consumption of illegal drugs not only harbors health risks for consumers, but also causes considerable social problems. In 2023 the number of drug deaths in Germany rose to around 2,230, often due to long -term damage to excessive consumption.

in Deggendorf it turns out that the topic of drug trafficking in the region is brand new. In the past, the criminal police had to deal with similar cases. For example, a 19-year-old resident was accused of selling marijuana, and here too the investigation was carried out in cooperation with the Deggendorf public prosecutor. BSM reported on the securing of packaged marijuana, which indicates a bigger problem in the area.

It remains to be seen how the investigation in Deggendorf develops and whether those responsible for drug trafficking can be held accountable. One thing is clear: the fight against drug crime is a permanent task for the police and requires a joint approach of society and authorities.
