Reveals: The police's record seizure in Strängnäs - found 50 million worth of amphetamine

It was on September 15 that the police raided an apartment on Tosterön. In the apartment, 150 kilos of amphetamine was found, which is said to have a street value of between SEK 30 and 50 million.

- As far as I know, it is the largest drug seizure that has been handled by the prosecutor's office here in Eskilstuna, says prosecutor Immanuel Winbergh.

Since then, a couple, a man and a woman both in their 30s, have been detained on suspicion of particularly serious drug offences.

The police caught sight of the suspect couple already in February when the man tried to sell hashish to a plainclothes police officer.

Serious organized crime

Winbergh is convinced that the narcotics are handled within the framework of serious organized crime. He does not want to go into what role the suspects have played, but makes a general statement.

- The organizations that handle this amount of narcotics usually cynically exploit people who are in a very difficult life situation, he says.

At NFC for analysis

The preliminary investigation is still ongoing and the seized narcotics are currently with the National Forensic Center for analysis.

Could there be more arrests in this case?

- The Strängnäs police investigators are skilled. To the extent that we identify other people who have handled this drug, they will be located and then we will act.

Trial in November

Both suspects have been charged in another case on suspicion of serious drug offences. In that case, the trial is expected to start in November. The prosecutor's hope is that both drug cases can be decided in the district court at the same time.

The woman denies any wrongdoing. The man admits that he has received the drugs, but only for short-term storage.
