Due to a noise disturbance, officers were called to a residential building in the 17th district on the night of September 30, 2026. Already in the stairwell, they encountered three women who, according to the police, were making loud voices and laughter.

The women gave the officers only hesitant and partially contradictory information about which apartment they came from and whether there were other people present there.

Unusual noises were also heard from the apartment in question. Because no one opened the door despite repeated requests and the officers could not rule out that there was a helpless or endangered person inside, the apartment door was forcibly opened.

Upon entering, the officers immediately noticed a strong smell of cannabis, according to their own statement.

In the apartment, the officers then encountered two men who also showed signs of impairment from alcohol and drugs.

During the subsequent search, the officers found approximately 1.1 kilograms of cannabis herb, according to the Vienna State Police Directorate.

Additionally, various packaging materials and several utensils were secured, which were allegedly used for the cultivation of cannabis.

But that was not all: In the apartment, the officers also found stolen documents and suspected counterfeit money.

The men are a 25-year-old and a 28-year-old, both with Polish nationality. They were temporarily arrested.

The three women – two 22-year-olds and one 20-year-old, each with Polish or Croatian nationality – were charged.

The police initially did not provide further details about the allegedly stolen documents or the counterfeit money found.
