Have the police caught a big fish here?
On Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m., civil officers wanted to check a black VW. The driver first stopped on the Beusselbrücke, opened the door and jumped out of the vehicle with a large bag.
Then the man ran to the bridge railing and jumped into the water. Not without reason, as it turned out: there was a loud one in the bag police “considerable amount” of hashish.
The fire brigade came with a large contingent, including divers. That’s how the police fished the courier and the drugs out of the water. The man was arrested on the spot and taken to a detention center.
Whether he is a small or a big fish in the drug business is the subject of ongoing investigations.
