Investigators knocked on the door of a 42-year-old man in Althofen on Monday morning with a large police force. They quickly found what they were looking for when they searched the house.

Even EKO Cobra Süd arrived for the operation in the Althofen apartment on Monday. "In the early hours of the morning, the court-authorized house search ordered by the public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt was carried out," reported the police. "A small amount of herbal cannabis, cash amounting to several thousand euros and other items typical of the scene were seized from the 42-year-old suspect."

The dealer also partially confessed to the evidence seized during the interrogation. "A further ten drug users known by name were identified", the police continued. Once the investigation, which is continuing, has been completed, the 42-year-old will be charged.
