In a bid to foil local authorities, a Budapest heroin dealer chose a hiding place for his heroin stash where nobody would ever consider looking.
According to a May 13 article in the Croatian Times, Zsolt Nagy and his partner were arrested in Graz, Austria, after they attempted to sell 100 grams of heroin to an undercover Austrian police officer. Once notified, Hungarian police brought drug-seeking dogs to the homes of the two accused, but found nothing there.
Police would never have found the larger cache of heroin but for the arrest of a third man involved in the same drug ring who revealed the precise location of the criminal ring’s heroin stash.
Police then searched a graveyard outside of Budapest, in the town of Sopron, and found three kilograms of heroin inside two graves, one of which belonged to Nagy’s grandmother.
The heroin, already bundled in dozens of plastic baggies, has an estimated street value of $250,000. Sopron police say they are testing samples of the heroin, trying to link it to the recent overdose deaths of two local heroin users.
