650 liters of MDMA oil and 55 kilos of MDMA chunks, good for approximately 4.9 million ecstasy pills. That was the outcome of the FIOD’s raid on Wouwse Plantage last Tuesday. A 24-year-old resident of Breda has been arrested.
The Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) had received a tip that the farm in Wouwse Plantage contained chemicals for the production of ecstasy pills. However, when the FIOD raided there on Tuesday, they found a fully functioning, professional drug lab.
Searches were carried out at several locations in Wouwse Plantage and in a house in Breda. The 24-year-old man was arrested in Breda. He was arraigned on Friday and will remain in custody for another fourteen days.
Making drugs via ‘cold method’
A total of 650 liters of MDMA oil and 55 kilos of MDMA chunks were found at the drug laboratory. According to the FIOD, MDMA, the raw material for ecstasy, was made there using the so-called ‘cold method’. A way in which the conversion of substances to MDMA takes place without heating. The crystallization of MDMA oil was also carried out in the drug lab.
