The police recently received anonymous information about a grow operation that was said to be located in a building on the Markt in Kruiningen. When officers raided the location on Wednesday afternoon, the tip was found to be credible. Over 900 plants were discovered, which were located in eight separate growing rooms. Both the plants and all goods used to maintain the grow operation have been seized. Two suspects have been arrested, a 40-year-old man without a fixed residence and a 44-year-old man from Bergen op Zoom.

A grow operation was also dismantled in Yerseke. It was located in a residence on Dahlialaan. The resident has been arrested. In the house, in two growing rooms, there were over 200 hemp plants in total. The resident was also guilty of electricity theft. The energy company has filed a report regarding this. During the dismantling, fans, lights, and filters were seized, along with the hemp plants.
