Large drug lab found in Kortemark

Yesterday a large drug lab was found in the Handzamestraat in Kortemark. A team of detectives, supported by the armed local police, raided a local farm. A large amount of synthetic material was discovered in the shed.

Research is still ongoing

During the raid, two men were arrested, presumably the tenants of the shed. The investigation is now continuing. Six convoys just arrived in Kortemark. The owners of the shed, a couple from Kortemark, were not aware of the drug lab or the activities within the shed. In the interest of the investigation, the public prosecutor’s office does not want to comment yet.
