The Wielkopolska police have made a significant bust, seizing nearly 70 kg of drugs—marijuana and mephedrone—from the home of Roger M., a rapper from Poznań who had alluded to his drug dealing activities in his lyrics.
On Wednesday, July 17, the Wielkopolska police announced the arrest of 27-year-old Roger M., a rapper known for his connections to the local pseudo-hooligan scene. The arrest came after police intercepted 67 kg of drugs in total, making it one of the largest recent drug seizures in the region.
The Raid and Arrest
The arrest unfolded when police spotted Roger M. on the street in Puszczykowo near Poznań. He was swiftly incapacitated and taken into custody. A search of the car he was using revealed 4.5 kg of drugs. The subsequent raid on his apartment uncovered an additional 63 kg of marijuana and mephedrone, turning his residence into a veritable drug warehouse.
Police Operations and Investigation
“The suspect was noticed by policemen on the street in Puszczykowo near Poznań. He was immediately incapacitated and detained. The police found 4.5 kg of drugs in the car he used. When they entered his apartment, they discovered a real drug warehouse. There was an additional 63 kg of marijuana and mephedrone,” reported Andrzej Borowiak, spokesman for the Greater Poland police.
The arrest followed extensive operational activities by the police’s drug department, who had been gathering intelligence on Roger M.’s involvement in large-scale drug trafficking for some time. Their findings led the prosecutor’s office to initiate an investigation, which culminated in the raid and arrest.
Legal Consequences
Roger M. now faces serious legal consequences, having been charged with distributing significant quantities of drugs. If convicted, he could face up to 12 years in prison.
This case underscores the intersection of music and real-life crime, with Roger M.’s own lyrics providing clues to his illicit activities. The police’s successful operation highlights their commitment to tackling drug trafficking in the region.
