Two men aged 41 and 65 have been arrested and placed in pre-trial custody.
When investigating mail-order marijuana exports via courier firms, police stumbled upon the trafficking ring.
The police intercepted a shipment after identifying the person responsible for delivering parcels to despatch firms.
Even tracking devices were deployed to make sure the product arrived at its destination.
In a separate room, the man prepared marijuana for export with drugs provided by another person.
Both men were found to have sent three daily marijuana shipments into northern Europe, primarily Germany and Poland.
Besides the steroids, the raids yielded two kilos of cocaine, 43 kilos of marijuana, 60 kilos of hashish and over €53,000 in cash.
