Stolen tablet leads Berlin police to major drug bust in Pankow

A stolen tablet led Berlin police to a suspected drug dealer in Pankow. The investigation began after a 27-year-old woman reported her backpack missing. Officers later uncovered large quantities of drugs and stolen goods in the suspect’s apartment.

The case started when the victim tracked her stolen tablet to an address in Pankow. She shared the location with police, who then raided the property. Inside, they found several kilograms of cocaine, hundreds of ecstasy pills, hashish, and cannabis.

Officers also seized stolen bank cards, fake identification documents, and counterfeit money. Two flick knives and other suspected stolen items were recovered. An arrest warrant was issued for the 56-year-old suspect on Sunday.

The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue. Police are examining the seized items and drugs for further evidence. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether additional charges will be filed.
