Day-to-day tasks for the SoKo (Sokommeldeckungskräfte, or Counterintelligence Forces in German) involve surveillance, intelligence gathering, and counterespionage activities to protect national security.
In a significant development, the SoKo City Center team in Bielefeld has arrested a 39-year-old individual on suspicion of possession and trafficking of anesthetics.
The arrest took place on Tuesday afternoon, following a search initiated by the team in response to a suspected thief at Willy-Brandt-Platz. However, instead of the suspected thief, they found openly visible portions of anesthetics in the 39-year-old's pocket.
During the search, the police found cocaine, ready-to-use drugs, utensils for drug portioning, and change, typical for drug sales, in the suspect's possession.
The SoKo City Center's daily work involves combating criminals in the drug scene, and they strive for more security on the streets and squares of Bielefeld. The search led them to a kiosk on Herford Street, near Willy-Brandt-Platz.
On Wednesday, a judge ordered investigative detention for the 39-year-old at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office in Bielefeld.
