Via Meld Misdaad Anoniem, someone expressed suspicion that drugs were being stored in a residence. Investigators followed up on that tip by visiting the house. On the balcony of the residence, 60 kilograms of cocaine were found. The drugs, with a street value of over 3 million euros, were stored in five moving boxes. The boxes were examined at the police station, the drugs will be destroyed, and an unknown substance also found in the box will be further investigated by the NFI. The resident of the house, a 24-year-old man, was immediately arrested. He was presented to the examining magistrate on Wednesday, May 7, who placed him in custody for a period of fourteen days.
