The windows were blacked out, there were constantly short visits by unknown individuals, and a pungent smell of cannabis surrounded the house.
For the Drug Team from North Holland, there were enough signals to conduct an investigation, together with the neighborhood officer.
On Tuesday, February 25, police entered the house on Waddenstraat and found not a grow operation, but over 40 kilos of cannabis. This was seized.  
A 33-year-old man from Hollands Kroon has been arrested. The investigation is ongoing.

Happy with a safer neighborhood

Neighborhood officer Sander Laan in Wieringen is pleased with the outcome. “This time it was not a grow operation where electricity and water are tapped in a dangerous manner, but thanks to these tips, we are making the neighborhood safer together.”
