Munich man, 22, held after flat search finds 45 g hashish, cocaine and four pistols
Munich police searching a 22-year-old's flat in Waldperlach after a street quarrel found 45 grams of pressed hashish, about 1.8 kilograms of cocaine and four pistols. He is in pre-trial custody on suspicion of armed drug trafficking; his 30-year-old girlfriend was released on conditions.
Munich police arrested a 22-year-old Munich man and his 30-year-old girlfriend
from Poland after an argument between them on the street led officers to the
man’s flat in Waldperlach, Ramersdorf-Perlach, in the night to 16 October 2026.[1]A neighbour called the emergency number because of the loud quarrel shortly
before midnight, and officers found the 22-year-old lightly bleeding from the
nose and half undressed in the cold.[2]Police said the two were arrested on
suspicion of drug trafficking and that arrest warrants were issued against both,
with the warrant against the woman suspended on conditions.[3]
The search found about 1.8 kilograms of high-quality uncut cocaine, which the
investigators valued at an estimated EUR 140,000 on the street, as well as four
sharp pistols.[1]Investigators also found a pressed block of 45 grams of
hashish in a lockable glass box, a quantity the Abendzeitung described as still
just within what German law allows for personal use.[1]
The four pistols were three Glock handguns and one Croatian HS pistol, with
magazines for up to 30 rounds and a device that converts a semi-automatic pistol
into a fully automatic weapon.[4]A search of the 22-year-old’s car found
nothing of criminal relevance and the car was returned to him.[2]
A judge issued arrest warrants against both on suspicion of drug trafficking;
the 22-year-old has been in pre-trial custody since, while his girlfriend was
released on conditions.[1]The 22-year-old was already known to police for
drug offences, had no weapons licence and has not commented on the allegations,
and armed trafficking in a not-small quantity carries a minimum five-year prison
term.[4]Munich’s Kommissariat 83, the city drugs squad, took over the further
investigation.[5]

The hashish weight is inconsistent inside the one source that gives it: the Abendzeitung body text says 45 grams, while the caption of the same page says 450 grams; the body figure is used.
Only the Abendzeitung identifies hashish at all; the dpa wire copy, tz, Wochenanzeiger and the submitted WELT page describe only unspecified drugs, so the cannabis quantity rests on a single outlet.
The 1.8 kilograms of cocaine and the EUR 140,000 street value are not counted as cannabis and are excluded from the figures.
No charge has been filed yet; the case is at the investigation stage with the man in pre-trial custody and no trial date reported.
The Abendzeitung's remark that 45 grams of hashish is still within the legally permitted personal-use amount is the outlet's own characterisation and is not stated by police.
The Abendzeitung and tz report the call as coming shortly before midnight, and the tz and Wochenanzeiger give the date as Wednesday, 16 October 2026.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Wochenanzeiger: In the flat the man tried to flee and officers restrained and handcuffed him, and the Munich I public prosecutor's office ordered a search of the whole flat that same night.
Customs officers stopped a car with two men at Hausmoning near the Austrian border and arrested both after finding about 1 kg of marijuana flowers and about 200 g of hashish in the footwell. The passenger had tried to flee on an e-scooter and had hidden 2,800 euros in his shoes; officers seized the drugs and cash and opened criminal proceedings.
Police in the Kriegshaber district of Augsburg stopped a 27-year-old e-scooter rider in the early hours of 11 November 2026 and found signs of alcohol and drug impairment; he admitted having consumed cannabis and held no driving licence. A blood sample was taken and police opened an investigation for drink-driving through alcohol and cannabis and for driving without a licence.
Cologne police arrested five suspected cocaine dealers, aged 21 to 39, in raids on their apartments on 10 November 2026 and seized about 300 grams of marijuana along with around 600 grams of cocaine and €20,000 in cash. Police suspect the group ran a cocaine trade in the Südstadt district and said the investigation continues.
On 10 November 2026, federal police found a 30-year-old Albanian national on a train without a valid ticket and seized several hundred grams of cannabis from his backpack. State police in Magdeburg provisionally arrested him, and criminal proceedings were opened.
