Customs Officers Successfully Confiscate Illicit Stash of Oxycodone
The Customs Investigation Office (Zollfahndungsamt) responsible for further investigations in the case of the discovered OxyContin delivery box is the Zollfahndungsamt relevant to the region where the case occurred. Last Friday, the Main Customs Office Braunschweig discovered a package containing 2,110 tablets labeled "OxyContin" and "Oxydolor".
The active ingredient in the tablets, oxycodone, falls under the Narcotics Act and requires a prescription. Unauthorized possession, trading, and distribution of such narcotics are criminal offenses. The driver of the small truck, coming from Poland, could not provide any documents for the narcotics and intended to travel with them to the UK. Customs officers have initiated criminal proceedings against the driver.
The investigation continues to be led by the Main Customs Office Braunschweig. Further updates on the investigation can be obtained from the Main Customs Office Braunschweig press office, with Dagmar Taeger serving as the press spokesperson. Contact details for Dagmar Taeger are as follows: Telephone: 0531/1291-1016, Email: [email protected], and Email: [email protected].
According to Dagmar Taeger, there is an increasing demand for these narcotics on the "black market". Such medications are commonly used for cancer pain. However, it's essential to note that quick physical dependence can develop from using these substances. They directly affect the respiratory center, and the oxygen saturation in the blood can drop rapidly. In combination with alcohol, such tablets can have life-threatening consequences.
Further investigations are being conducted by the Zollfahndungsamt Hannover, in addition to the Main Customs Office Braunschweig.

As the investigation continues, the public is reminded to report any suspicious activities related to narcotics to the appropriate authorities. The safety and well-being of the community are of utmost importance. Stay informed and stay safe.
