Drug Dealer Identified Through Misplaced Welfare Card in Hungary
A 44-year-old man was arrested almost a year after abandoning his vehicle, which contained crucial evidence linking him to drug possession.
In July 2023, a man attempted to evade law enforcement during a routine police check in Cegléd, Hungary.
Instead of stopping as instructed, the individual fled the scene, leaving his vehicle abandoned in the outskirts on a lucerne field.
Notably, he left behind a SZÉP card, a state-issued welfare card granted for various services such as hospitality and leisure, in the car, which ultimately led to his identification and arrest.
Upon inspecting the abandoned vehicle, police discovered two significant items: a glasses case containing a substance suspected to be illicit drugs, and the SZÉP card belonging to the fugitive.
The card proved instrumental in tracing the individual, later identified as 44-year-old K. Krisztián.
Despite the identification, K. Krisztián was not found at his registered address, prompting law enforcement to issue an arrest warrant.
He remained at large until his apprehension on April 29, 2024, at his workplace in Sopron, nearly a year following the original incident.
The Cegléd Police Department has initiated legal proceedings against K. Krisztián for possession of drugs and for the misuse of new psychoactive substances.
The case has been referred to the appropriate prosecutor's office for further action.
