Officers from the Task Force for Combating Street Crime (EGS) observed several cases of suspected drug trafficking in Vienna-Ottakring last night. A 43-year-old man (citizen of North Macedonia) was identified, detained, and provisionally arrested as a suspected drug dealer in the Thalheimergasse area. During the personal searches and the search of his apartment, almost 9,000 euros in cash in scene-typical denominations and approximately 3,160 grams of cocaine were found and seized. The accused is in police custody. Further investigations are ongoing.
