Various raw materials and goods have been found in the building, such as air filters, extraction systems, and storage tanks. This suggests that it is a production site for synthetic drugs. The extent of the production site and what exactly has been found is currently under investigation. Specialists from the National Facility for Dismantling (LFO) will dismantle the lab.
The police do not rule out further arrests in this investigation. Detectives are continuing to investigate the case.
Do you suspect a drug location?
Drug laboratories, processing locations, and storage places pose a significant risk in residential areas and on industrial estates. Not only the production process but also the storage of chemical substances is dangerous. If you have tips about the presence of such criminal activities, please report them to the police. You can do this via 0900-8844 or via Report Crime Anonymously. Please also provide information such as license plates, cars, or descriptions of individuals near the building if possible.
How do you recognize a drug location?
They can be located anywhere; in the countryside or in the big city, in farm sheds, houses, garage boxes, or in apartment buildings. Signs that a drug lab or processing location is present include the presence of a strong synthetic smell (anise-like or chemically irritating, sour, or acetone). Unused doors and windows are often sealed, for example, with spray foam.
