Federal police arrested a 28-year-old man on Sunday evening at the German-Dutch
border on an outstanding custodial warrant alleging cannabis dealing, and he is
now in prison.[1][2] The man, whose nationality was stated as unclear, was a
passenger on a cross-border train from the Netherlands and was checked at Bad
Bentheim station at about 22:00 during temporarily reintroduced internal border
controls.[1][2][3]
The identity check showed he was wanted for dealing in a not-small quantity of
cannabis in a particularly serious case.[1][2][3] The competent local court had
ordered pretrial detention because he had apparently gone underground to evade
the proceedings.[1][3] After spending a night in police custody, he was brought
before a custodial judge the next day and then admitted to a prison.[1][2][3]
The judiciary had also repeatedly circulated requests to establish his
whereabouts.[1] A second outlet corroborates the Sunday-evening arrest in Bad
Bentheim on the custodial warrant and the border-control check at the station of
the man arriving from the Netherlands.[4]
1 November 2026 is inferred as the incident date because the 2 November 2026 police statement says the arrest happened on Sunday evening at about 22:00.
No quantity, packaging, seizure or market value for the alleged cannabis dealing was published.
The man's nationality was described only as unclear and no name was published.
No outcome beyond committal to prison after presentation to the custodial judge was reported.
