Major drug raid in the Rottal-Inn district – four suspects arrested!

In the early morning hours of November 5, 2025, a comprehensive raid was carried out in the Rottal-Inn district. Investigators from the Passau criminal police, supported by the central emergency services, searched for several objects in the communities of Triftern and Massing. The reason for the searches: suspicion of illegal possession of drugs and weapons. The Bavarian police published this information in a recent report.

Numerous illegal substances were seized during the searches, which were based on four decided measures. In particular, oxycodone and various other drugs were found in the homes of three men aged 40, 52 and 54 and a 40-year-old woman. In addition, violations of the weapons law were discovered, which brought the investigators to the scene. The Passau Criminal Police Department is working closely with the Landshut public prosecutor's office to clarify the events. What further measures will be taken remains to be seen.

Background information on narcotics

Oxycodone is a powerful painkiller used medically to treat moderate to severe pain. However, it is also known for its high potential for abuse. The illegal trade in it has reached worrying proportions in recent years. The current raid shows that the authorities are determined to take action against this development.

Parallel to the attention on local future issues, a tragic event in Kentucky has shocked the nation. A UPS Cargo plane crashed while departing Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport for the city of Honolulu on Tuesday, November 5th. According to previous reports, nine people died in the accident, including all three crew members. Devastating fires on the ground and the plane's explosion have caused chaos in the area, while the search for more victims and missing people is still underway. The airport and surrounding businesses are also feeling the impact, as some taxi lanes remain closed and operations have been temporarily suspended.

Impact on air traffic

While Louisville Airport resumes passenger and cargo flights Wednesday, some taxi lanes remain closed. Security cameras documented the crash, and an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board is underway to determine the exact cause of the accident. This tragic incident is a reminder of how quickly life can change and the importance of safety in aviation.

The actions taken at Rottal-Inn and the tragedy in Kentucky illustrate how different challenges and dangers society faces, whether locally or internationally. The coming days will show what consequences the measures in Bavaria and the results of the investigations in Kentucky will have.
