The focus of the operation led by the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) was on the two major Saxon cities, said LKA spokesman Tom Bernhardt. In Leipzig, for example, objects in the cross streets of the notorious Eisenbahnstrasse in the east of the city were searched. There were also occasional searches outside the cities and even in Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
In Dresden, the investigators struck on Mügelner Strasse, among other places. Among other things, a BMW was confiscated there.

LKA, customs and public prosecutors had been preparing the raid since the summer. In the past six months, the investigators were able to “make several suspects known and uncover structures in the area of gang-like trading with narcotics”, Bernhardt continued.

According to the information, “assets have been secured and evidence secured,” including cars, cash and even a yacht. The investigators also took drugs with them.
Because the suspects are considered dangerous, special task forces supported the operation. Police officers from other federal states and the federal police were also used to provide security.
