A drug lab was discovered early Thursday morning in a garage at a house in Vinkel. Here the resident has been arrested. This happened after shots were fired in the same street, the Bosschebaan, on Wednesday evening. Two press photographers who came to the discovery of the drug lab have been arrested. They allegedly disobeyed an officer’s order. This is reported by the police.
Around half past eleven in the evening, the police received a report of shots that were allegedly heard on the Bosschebaan in Vinkel. Officers drove around with searchlights and searched the area. According to the police, no traces were found during this search that indicate that shots were actually fired.
Drug lab
Early this Thursday morning, hours after the shooting, a drug lab was discovered in a garage near a house on the same street. The Special Interventions Service of the police raided this building because it was unclear what the situation was like in the building. That is why the area around the garage was cordoned off, the police said.
The lab was not operating. The police have arrested the resident here. It is not clear whether the report of the shooting has anything to do with the found drug lab. The police are investigating that.
Deposition
Just like the police, two press photographers approached the discovery of the drug lab. According to a police spokesperson, they walked through a barrier and were then arrested. According to the information officer, the formal reason is that the photographers ignored an order or demand from agents.
The pair are still in custody. An assistant public prosecutor will check whether the arrests are justified and whether the men will be detained longer for further investigation.
