The drug waste that was released during the production of synthetic drugs in the lab has been dumped in a ditch behind the shed. Cleaning up this has already cost society more than 70,000 euros.

A 40 -year -old man from Boxmeer was arrested on 8 April. What the men played for role is still being investigated. More arrests are not excluded by the police.
