During a surveillance, officers stop around 9:00 PM along the road at the Markt in Oudenbosch when their attention is drawn by a passing car. The officers see that the driver is holding his phone. They decide to follow the vehicle and signal the driver to stop.
Signal and Initial Check
When they approach him, they ask for his drivers license. However, the man cannot show it. While the conversation is ongoing, the officers smell a strong scent of hemp. They decide to conduct a saliva test, and it soon turns out that the driver tests positive for drug use.
No License and Under Influence
Since he cannot show a drivers license, the officers conduct further investigation. It turns out that the man does not possess a valid drivers license at all, and this is not the first time he has been caught for this. Enough reason to seize the vehicle immediately. While securing the car, the officers find several baggies and a large bag. In that bag, more than five hundred grams of hemp is found. The drugs have been seized.
Arrest
The 34-year-old man from Oud Gastel was subsequently arrested and taken to the police station. His vehicle has been seized.
