The shock is good at the Doctor Plesmansingel in Amstelveen. This afternoon, the police invaded a suspicious apartment in the flat with an arrest team. A large part of it had to be evacuated. “There was a lot of noise and it was a fierce situation,” said one of the flat residents.
The raid and the evacuation of the flat come after there is a report of a strange scent and a ‘suspicious situation’ according to the police. Residents are outside in the Vrieskou for an hour. The strange scent is not recognized in conversation with NH, but some residents say ‘they have smelled a weed scent at the home more often’.
The complex with four floors is partially evacuated, after which an arrest team of the police mucks the front door of the suspected apartment with a storm ram. “I thought it was a fierce situation,” says one of the residents. His neighbor also affected is mainly concerned about the ups and downs of her dogs. “If everyone has to go outside, then also the animals? I was in a panic.”

In addition to the police, fire brigade and ambulance were also called. The national Facility Defantelen (LFO) also came to the scene, which usually means that there are indications for a drug lab. In the end, nothing is found suspicious and nobody is present in the home.
Pot -tight
It is not known how the police came to the apartment in question. The residents returned to their home this afternoon after more than an hour. They are still in the dark why the police took action. “It is always tight there and there is nothing to see. However, years ago there was a raid on the same home. But what’s going on? It feels unsafe when this happens to your neighbors.”
