Danish Police Arrest Six Suspects for Cocaine Smuggling on Langeland

Authorities in Denmark have made significant progress in their efforts to combat drug smuggling on the island of Langeland. Early Saturday morning, the Funen Police (Fyns Politi), in collaboration with the National Unit for Special Crimes (NSK), arrested six individuals suspected of smuggling substantial amounts of cocaine. This operation has resulted in the seizure of a large quantity of the illegal substance.

Lars Feldt-Rasmussen, the Deputy Chief Police Inspector of NSK, expressed great satisfaction with the outcome of the operation, highlighting that this action has dealt a serious blow to the drug market, which is critical in the fight against organized crime.

The six men are scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing at the Court in Odense (Retten i Odense) at 5 PM on Saturday evening. The prosecution intends to request that the hearing be held behind closed doors. Both the Funen Police and NSK have refrained from providing further comments to respect the ongoing investigation.

Earlier on the same morning, the Funen Police announced their extensive presence in northern Langeland, indicating that this presence is expected to continue for some time. According to TV 2, which has a reporter on the scene, a boat was seized at the Spodsbjerg marina, and the police utilized a rubber boat during the operation.

This action represents an important victory against drug smuggling and the associated criminal networks, reinforcing NSK’s continued efforts in combating organized crime.
