Customs officials at the border intercepted individuals suspected of drug smuggling, as per documents from HZA-LÖ, titled "Paper Halting Drug Smugglers at the Border".
On July 22, 2025, a significant seizure of cocaine and cash took place at the Weil am Rhein-Autobahn customs office. The incident involved a 44-year-old female driver who was stopped by the Mobile Control Unit of the Customs Office Lörrach.
During the inspection of the woman's vehicle, customs officers discovered a large envelope in the floor area behind the passenger seat. Upon further investigation, they found several sheets of paper soaked in cocaine and 4,000 euros in cash.
The suspect was taken into custody under suspicion of possession of narcotics in a significant amount. A drug test conducted on site confirmed the presence of cocaine. The following day, a warrant was issued by the examining magistrate at Lörrach District Court for the same suspicion.
