Officers saw the two on the street by the swimming pool making a transfer of narcotics. Both men, the buyer and the seller, were immediately arrested.

In the vehicle of the 21-year-old suspect from Hoorn, a significant amount of cash and several wraps of suspected hard drugs were found. The detectives then initiated a follow-up investigation. A raid was conducted in a garage box on Harlingenlaan in Volendam. There, the police found a large amount of hard drugs, presumably cocaine. In total, it amounts to nearly three kilograms.

Both suspects are in custody for further questioning and investigation.
