Stopped in Schwechat!
Dealer hid 14 kilos of cocaine in a wheelchair
A Venezuelan flying in from Brazil tried to get past the watchful eyes of the Schwechat border police with a perfidious trick. The drug courier from South America wanted to be smuggled in by the appropriate service personnel at Vienna Airport in the wheelchair he had brought with him. But the experienced and seasoned investigators already had him in their sights ...
The police officers at Schwechat Airport were not fooled by documents about examinations and treatments allegedly planned in Austria.
Four-legged detectives stopped dealers
Of course, they also enlisted the help of two partners with a wet snout. And they were immediately successful: both "Utz" from the airport customs office and police service dog "Pitt vom Taffatal" (see photo above) barked and showed clear signs of a drug stash. Bingo!
The 39-year-old had discovered 14 kilograms of top-quality cocaine in the backrest of his wheelchair.
Drugs worth 1.5 million euros
The street value of the drugs is 1.5 million euros. Incidentally, the smuggler was not reliant on mechanized walking aids and had used them purely as a cover for his dirty business. The South American was sent to Korneuburg prison (Lower Austria).
