Drugs found during mowing work in Horneburg: Police are looking for witnesses!
In Horneburg, a tranquil town in the Stade district, a skyrocketing drug discovery is attracting attention. What started as an ordinary mowing operation turned out to be a real shock for the road maintenance employees. While mowing the floodplain last November, they discovered several bags and backpacks that turned out to be a veritable goldmine for drug traffickers. Now she asks Stade police the public for information about the origin of these narcotics.
The bags and backpacks searched together weighed in the double-digit kilogram range. According to initial estimates, the street value of the drugs could be several hundred thousand euros. This suggests that it is the stash of a drug trafficker who may be on the run. However, so far there is no evidence of the perpetrators, which doesn't make the investigation any easier.

This incident is no coincidence, as drug-related crime has developed rapidly in recent years. Loud Statista Around 347,000 drug crime cases were recorded by the police in Germany in 2023, an increase of 2 percent compared to the previous year. A look at the numbers shows that over 90 percent of the cases involve cannabis, which has been partially legal since April 1, 2024. Nevertheless, the drug morass remains problematic and the dark side is visible to everyone.
The large number of drug crimes raises an urgent question: How can the ongoing drug trade be effectively counteracted? The use of illegal drugs not only represents a health problem, but also has far-reaching social consequences. The number of drug deaths has increased in recent years and was around 2,230 in 2023. This frightening statistic shows how important close cooperation between the police and the public is.
The issue of drug crime affects us all - especially now that cases like the one in Horneburg are becoming public. But it is up to us to keep our eyes open and support the authorities in solving such crimes.
