Police in Dresden-Loebtau arrested a 29-year-old German man after a witness tip led officers to his VW Polo and then to his flat.[1] Officers followed the tip on Sunday morning to the Polo on Tharandter Strasse in Loebtau, a district of Dresden.[2] The man was identified as the holder of the Polo and the resident of the searched flat, and he was taken into police custody.[2]

In the car officers found several packs of cannabis alongside crystal, several tablets, stolen number plates, about 10,000 euros in cash and a hunting rifle.[1] A later search of the flat recovered further narcotics and firearms, and officers seized the drugs, the money and the weapons.[1] Police said the exact quantity of the seized narcotics was still being established and the classification of the weapons was still pending.[1]

Investigators are now pursuing the man for alleged unauthorised trafficking in narcotics while carrying weapons.[2] The overall find is described as larger quantities of narcotics and weapons found in a house on Tharandter Strasse.[3]
