Hundreds of barrels of suspected drug waste dumped in rural areas

About 350 jerry cans with suspected drug waste were discovered on Roosendaalsebaan in Achtmaal on Monday morning. The police speak of contamination of the soil and surface water.

Because of the dumping, forest ranger Erik de Jonge was beeped awake by the fire brigade at a quarter past five on Sunday night. “Awful, what a mess again!”, he sighs on Twitter.

Details about the dumping are not yet available.
