Central Darmstadt Police Department: Unlawful Hashish Trade Unearthed in Downtown Area

In the heart of Darmstadt, on Luisenstraße and "Im Carree," an operation under the "Safe City Center" immediate programme took place on Tuesday afternoon. Around 15:40, officers observed a 30-year-old man exchanging an object for money in Luisenstraße.

Upon closer inspection, the man was found to have hashish and cash, leading to his immediate arrest and further investigation. It was revealed that the 30-year-old is a Slovenian national, wanted by the public prosecutor's office in connection with an ongoing investigation.

Around 15:55, two more individuals suspected of drug trafficking were noticed by plainclothes detectives. These individuals, a 21-year-old and a 33-year-old, were also found to have hashish and cash in quantities typical of drug scenes.

The 21-year-old was allowed to leave the station after confirming a summons-proof address and initiating a criminal investigation for suspected hashish trafficking. However, no further details about the ongoing investigations related to the 21-year-old man were provided.

The 33-year-old man was taken to the station for further processing. No information beyond his age was given about the 33-year-old man in the provided text.

Throughout the afternoon, law enforcement officers checked seven people and initiated several criminal proceedings. The 30-year-old, who was also suspected of hashish trafficking, was allowed to continue on his way after confirming a summons-proof address.

No further details about the seized substances or the quantities were provided. The criminal investigation was initiated against the 30-year-old for suspected hashish trafficking.

This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts by the Hesse State Police to maintain order and safety in the city centre.
