On January 17, police discovered a drug lab in the garage on Bartholomeo Diazstraat after a report from an alert neighbor. Dozens of kilograms of amphetamine and ecstasy pills were seized. The suspect was arrested later that evening at another location in Heerlen.
Danger has passed
The police have dismantled the production site and there is no longer any danger to the surroundings. The production of synthetic drugs is risky; chemicals can explode or cause fires. The consequences of such events are unpredictable. Storing these chemicals is also extremely dangerous.
