Arrests
In the home, two men were arrested: a 42-year-old man from Haren, suspected of an environmental offense and producing hard drugs, and a 53-year-old man without a permanent residence, also suspected of drug manufacturing. Both men are in custody for questioning. The investigation into the drug lab is ongoing, with evidence and neighborhood investigations, and the arrival of the LFO (National Facility for Dismantling) to safely dismantle the lab.
