Two homes were also searched around this suspect. One in Hellevoetsluis and one in Spijkenisse. During these searches, the police found drugs, cutting agents, pony packs, illegal cigarettes, and a fake firearm. These items were also seized. Last year, this suspect was already arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking from a hospitality establishment in Hellevoetsluis. He was sentenced to community service and a conditional prison sentence for this.
The investigation led to another suspect. She was arrested last Friday in her home in Hellevoetsluis. She is a 23-year-old woman. Her home was also searched. During the search, the police found drugs. Additionally, a large quantity of cutting agents and pony packs were discovered in her home. The police seized the items.
Both suspects were presented to the examining magistrate today, and it has been decided to extend their pre-trial detention by 14 days.
