After ordering heroin, cocaine and amphetamines worth several thousand euros on the Darknet, a man from Wels is now in jail.

A Welser is accused of having ordered addictive substances such as methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin in large quantities via the Darknet and then imported them into Upper Austria.

The 43-year-old was arrested at the request of the Wels public prosecutor’s office. He was housed in the prison in Wels.

During an interrogation, the accused did not confess, informs the State Police Directorate (LPD) Upper Austria in a press release. Extensive investigations by the Wels criminal police led to the arrest of a 43-year-old suspected drug dealer.

The investigators managed to intercept three postal packages. These contained almost 50 grams of methamphetamine, around 300 grams of cocaine and also around 550 grams of heroin.

The police assume that the suspect had already been sent 26 drug packages with similar contents last year. The package sender is said to be a Darknet seller from the Netherlands.
