(haipo) A 57-year-old Nesher resident was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of manufacturing drugs in his home and injecting them into thousands of teddy bear-shaped gummies, with the aim of distributing them at illegal nature parties. A laboratory suspected of being used to manufacture drugs was discovered in his home, and his detention was extended in court.
Months-long undercover investigation led to a raid on the suspect's home
As part of the police's fight against the drug scourge, Nesher police officers conducted an undercover investigation in recent months against the resident, on suspicion of manufacturing drugs in his home and distributing them at illegal parties. Over the weekend, the investigation became public, when Nesher police officers and Carmel Special Operations Command soldiers raided the suspect's home and uncovered a laboratory inside it suspected of being used to manufacture drugs. The raid revealed sophisticated activity that included disguising illegal substances inside candy that looked completely innocent.
Thousands of gummy bears, manufacturing equipment and suspicious materials seized in apartment
During the search of the suspect's home, thousands of gummy bears suspected of containing drugs, drug production equipment, hundreds of grams of substances suspected of being hashish and cannabis, liquid substances, powders, bottles containing a substance suspected of being hashish oil, and hundreds of distribution bags were seized. The suspect was arrested for questioning at the Nesher police station and his detention was extended in court. Today, the court once again granted the police's request and extended his detention until Thursday, October 22, 2026. The Israel Police announced that it will continue to act decisively against the production and distribution of drugs, in order to thwart criminal activity and maintain public peace and security.
