Police officers made a surprising discovery on Tuesday afternoon in an apartment in the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus district. They actually wanted to subject the tenant to a so-called basic service check, but instead the officials found 70,000 cigarettes hidden in a box.
Actually, the police were in the apartment around 4.15 pm for a completely different reason: the agents of the Immigration and Detention Service wanted to carry out a basic service check together with the Asylum Performance Control Service and Basic Services. the Federal Ministry of the Interior.
It is checked whether the person being interrogated and receiving the basic service – in this case a 24-year-old Syrian – actually resides at the registered address and, for example, has not moved to another federal state or abroad.
Cigarettes instead of clothes
The officials did not encounter the 24-year-old during the check, but made a find in a box of nicotine. 70,000 cigarettes were found in it, it reported Thursday. These were confiscated by customs officers. The suspected owner has been reported.
“The man had stated that he bought the cigarettes for his own use for 1,500 euros at a flea market,” police spokesman Markus Dittrich told APA.
