Erfurt – Apparatus, chemicals, finished drugs: The laboratory in the Kalkreiss industrial park in Erfurt looks a bit like a backdrop in the cult series “Breaking Bad”. Only real crystal was cooked here! And there was still a lot more to be cooked...
During a raid, the police caught five suspected major dealers (30-54) and initially secured ten kilograms of crystal, chemicals used to manufacture the devil's drug and 100 kilograms of marijuana.
This is what the seized ten kilos of crystal (worth around 800,000 euros) look like
As the police only announced on Wednesday, the LKA had already stormed on Monday after months of investigation. A drug laboratory and a camp were dug up in Erfurt and in the Sömmerda district.
Chlorephedrine is required for Crystal Cooking. In the laboratory, the raw material that would have been enough to cook a ton of crystal was stored in these blue canisters
According to the police, a ton (!) of crystal could have been cooked with the chemicals seized in the Erfurt laboratory. With an average street price of 80 euros/gram, the dealers could have produced crystal for around 80 million euros.
A police spokesman: "In addition to the drugs, the officers also secured two firearms, ammunition and a six-figure amount of cash."
Comparatively manageable: 100 kilos of marijuana packed airtight in cardboard boxes
Officers also took away cars and cell phones. The removal and securing of evidence took three days.
