BERLIN - German investigators say raids have been carried out on 600 homes in Austria, Switzerland and Germany seeking chemicals used to produce an illicit date-rape drug.
State investigators in Bavaria say police raided houses and apartments early Wednesday morning after a monthslong investigation.
Investigators were tipped off by suspicious online orders for GBL, a chemical found in industrial cleaners. The legal chemical can be used to manufacture GHB, a potent depressant sometimes called the date-rape drug.
The GBL orders were placed to a chemical company near Munich and another in northern Germany.
