Offenbach (dpa/lhe) - More than 700 police officers arrested 30 suspects in a large-scale raid on Tuesday in the Rhine-Main area on suspicion of drug trafficking organized by gangs. Arrest warrants had already been issued against ten men between the ages of 28 and 36 and a 32-year-old woman, police and prosecutors said. A total of 46 objects such as apartments, garages or commercial premises were searched by the investigators.
