Drug alarm in Munich's underground car park: four dealers arrested!

In the heart of Munich, more precisely in the Milbertshofen district, the police recently made a significant drug discovery, which points to the alarming drug trafficking situation in the city. On Tuesday afternoon, the Munich police headquarters presented the results of an intensive operation that was initiated by an attentive neighbor.

The problem should not be underestimated, especially when you consider that in 2024, 47 drug-related deaths were registered in the Munich police headquarters area, including 14 women and 33 men. Of particular concern is that 12 of those who died had not previously been reported to the police, indicating that the drug crisis is increasingly affecting wider sections of the population.
