Crystal meth production in the Netherlands continues to rise, more drug labs will be closed down in 2023 than in the past two years

The police dismantled twenty crystal meth production sites in the first eleven months of this year. That is more than in previous years. In 2022 and 2021, fifteen production locations for the synthetic drugs were closed down in the same period, the police reported on Wednesday. To understand which recipes the criminals use, the Dutch Forensic Institute (NFI) now cooks its own drugs on average twice a year.
