Vienna police seized about 165 grams of cocaine during a vehicle stop in the city’s 15th district. The drugs were found after officers noticed signs of suspicious behaviour in a car with a Romanian number plate. The police were patrolling on 8 November 2026 at around 20:30 when they spotted the vehicle on Sechshauser Straße. During the subsequent driver and vehicle check, officers detected a strong smell of cannabis from inside the car, and two of the three occupants acted nervously. The men also said they were not carrying identification documents. With support from additional officers, the car was searched. Under the front passenger seat, investigators discovered a plastic bag containing roughly 165 grams of cocaine. Police also seized cash in what they described as “scene-typical” denominations and a precision scale. Cannabis was found and secured with the glove compartment and near the driver. During the search, officers found a counterfeit 20-euro banknote in the vehicle in connection with the 21-year-old driver, a Romanian national. The driver refused to undergo a medical examination arranged through the authorities. His driving licence was temporarily withdrawn. Since none of the three suspects took responsibility for the cocaine, the driver and his two passengers were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking. The other two accused were a 34-year-old Algerian man and a 31-year-old Romanian woman. The three were taken to police custody. The State Criminal Police Office for Vienna, West branch, took over the further investigation.
