At around 3:15 PM, officers from the National Expertise and Operations Unit wanted to check a motorist who had just had a brief encounter with another driver.
A stop signal was ignored and after a short chase, the 20-year-old man from Tiel crashed into the police car. This occurred on Stationsweg in Ermelo.
The man then ran away but was quickly apprehended. Officers found live ammunition on the man, which led to the search of two residences in Tiel.
Here, 7 kg of soft drugs and 2.5 kg of hard drugs were found. An investigation will determine what drugs these are. Additionally, a loaded firearm was also found.
The man has been detained for questioning. A police officer was slightly injured in the collision.
