Police in Zurich arrested two suspected drug dealers and seized more than 12 kilograms of drugs, several weapons and about 60,000 francs in cash, SRF reported.
Officers stopped a car in Zurich-Leimbach shortly before 7pm on Thursday. They found a large quantity of cocaine with the 34-year-old German driver and arrested him.
Investigators then searched his apartment in Dübendorf, where they found and arrested his 44-year-old German housemate.
Police seized almost nine kilograms of cocaine, just over two kilograms of hashish and nearly one kilogram of 2C-B, along with small quantities of other drugs. They also confiscated an automatic firearm, a blank-firing pistol and an air gun.
The two suspects were handed over to Zurich prosecutors on suspicion of drug trafficking. Prosecutors asked the court for coercive measures to place them in pre-trial detention.
