Raid in Ulm: nine drug dealers caught - investigations are running!

In the region around Ulm and the Alb-Donau district, the police have run a blow to alleged drug dealers and burglars. As reported SWR Aktuell, a total of nine suspects were arrested by the criminal police at the end of May and early June. These play a central role in the criminal network described in the age of 16 to 50 years.

The raids took place in Laichingen, Blaubeuren as well as the cities of Ulm and Neu-Ulm and brought extensive results: In addition to a large number of drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines and marijuana, the investigators also came across a breeding facility for cannabis plants. The searches alone were secured around 15 grams of cocaine, 30 grams of amphetamine and about 375 grams of marijuana, as well as the [Swabian Zeitung] (https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/ulm-alb-donau/laichingen/schlag- against-massliche-in-in-neu-ulm-und-dem-alb-donau-kreis-kreis-kreis-kreis-kreis-kreis). The drug procurement and distribution seem to have been a lucrative business for the gang.

Investigations and arrests

The arrests that were made in close cooperation between the Ulm and Neu-Ulm criminal police are related to the suspicion of illegal trade in narcotics in the region. This also goes hand in hand with several burglaries that were celebrated in Ulm and Laichingen. The prey of these raids, according to the investigation, were the prey.

A 28-year-old man from Laichingen is the focus of the authorities, since he is not only suspected of being suspected of an armed robbery on a arcade in Blaubeuren, but should also have had an important role in the whole game. He is now in custody. Of the other suspects, some were released due to a lack of prison grounds.

drug crime in Germany

The incidents in our region are a small part of a major problem. According to Statista, over 347,000 drug crime cases were registered in Germany in 2023, which unfortunately corresponds to a sad trend. Cannabis remains the main thing among drugs, although the legal status has changed somewhat in the situation since April 2024. The number of unreported cases is probably much higher because drug crime is a tragic facet of organized and street crime.

The number of drug deaths reached a new high in 2023, with over 2,230 victims. These sad statistics illustrate the health and social problems that the consumption of illegal drugs brings with it and that are also more and more present in our region.

The investigation by the Ulm public prosecutor and the police continue to run in full swing. It remains exciting whether the arrests of the alleged drug dealers and burglars help to sustainably reduce the crime rate and make the region safer.
