During the raid in two houses in Goirle at the end of June, drugs with a street value of more than 5.2 million euros were found. The police announced this on Wednesday. After the raid, the police announced that they had found a large amount of hard drugs. On Wednesday it became clear that it concerns hundreds of kilos of drugs, liters of chemicals for the production of drugs and an amphetamine lab of industrial proportions.
In the attic of one of the adjacent houses in a residential area in Goirle, a drug lab for the production of amphetamine was found. In and around the houses, the police found one hundred kilos of amphetamine, over 28 kilos of crystal meth, more than 180,000 ecstasy pills, 42 kilos of ketamine, 7 kilos of 3-mmc, a designer drug, more than 86,000 LSD stamps and almost forty liters of amphetamine -oil.
A police investigation team spent a total of seven days testing, sampling and figuring out exactly what they had found.
The police raided on Tuesday, June 27, following a tip about drug trafficking from the two houses. About 35 officers were involved in the raid.
Two men were arrested in the two houses: a 58-year-old man from Tilburg and a 27-year-old fellow citizen. They have now been brought before the examining magistrate and are being questioned further. The police do not rule out more arrests, she said.
She also indicates that these types of labs and large stocks of drugs and raw materials for making drugs in residential areas pose a major risk.
