Trier. In the event of a large -scale operation in three federal states against illegal cultivation of cannabis and trade, the police arrested 27 people. The focus is on a gang that operates large illegal indoor cannabis plantations in Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, and said the police in Trier in the millions. Around 900 police officers searched a total of 27 buildings in the three countries. 12 of these objects were, according to the information operated by the grouped cannabis plantations. In the deployment, the emergency services met 27 people who are suspected of being members of the gang. There was already a ceremony for 13 of these people between the ages of 20 and 38, as the police continued. At the request of the Trier public prosecutor’s office, they will be brought to the investigative judges of the Trier District Court. Another 14 people working as a gardener were also temporarily arrested in the plantations. At the request of the locally responsible public prosecutor, they are presented to the relevant investigative judges. In North Rhine-Westphalia they were in Gummersbach, Hückelhoven, Troisdorf, Werne, Euskirchen and Windeck. In Hesse there was an assignment in Villmar. About the amounts of cannabis seized there and other seized evidence, there was initially no information. The campaign and reduction of the plantations continued. November 2024, the Trier police headquarters are investigating the Trier public prosecutor’s office against the presumably national nationwide gang. (dpa.)
