According to witnesses, there are not only activities in the city, but also during the day, activities take place, especially in the Leopold Park, which is often mentioned as a hotspot for drug dealers. “Belgium has a problem with the drug environment. In Ostend, the police have been carrying out sweeps in parks and squares for months and regularly grabs drugs. It is true that drugs often lead to violent facts, in which weapons are also involved,” says Crombez.
