Local residents in Roosendaal have been complaining for months about noise nuisance from a house on the Bandeliersweg where six types of drugs were found on Monday. The police spoke of a ‘drug dispensary’. The local residents knew nothing about the large amount of drugs. That scares them. In the house of the 41-year-old man were hundreds of grams of drugs, including ‘pink cocaine’.
The police went to the house in the night from Sunday to Monday to confiscate sound equipment. After the umpteenth report of noise nuisance, the officers thought it had been nice.
Inside, they found a baseball bat with barbed wire, items for growing hemp, and all sorts of drugs:
- several hundred grams of ketamine,
- twenty grams of amphetamine,
- ten milliliters of GHB,
- three grams of MDMA,
- two grams of hemp.
There was pink powder in several places in the house. It turned out to be 194 grams of tucibi, also known as ‘pink cocaine’. All drugs have been seized.
“The man walked calmly with the police and was taken away in a police car,” says a neighbor across the street. The man is still in custody pending further investigation.
“I never noticed anything about drugs.”
The suspect’s house is closed. At the back there is barbed wire on the fence. There are cameras in the backyard and the sidewalk is littered with rubbish, like empty wine bottles. The next door neighbors don’t want to talk about their neighbor.
A resident of the flat next to the house: “When I go to sleep at night I hear: ‘Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!’ You just shake in your bed.” He also knows that the arrested man is an ex-military. That is also written in large letters on his front door: ‘Korps Commandotroepen’.
“A drug dispensary? Here? That scares me,” says another local resident. “We are very concerned about this man. Just continuous noise pollution. But I never noticed anything about drugs.”
“You never saw him in front of his house.”
Another Roosendaler suspects that his neighbor across the street did business at the back of his house. “You never saw him at the front. The blinds are always closed. It seemed mostly like a nightclub. You heard the music in your bedroom and you saw the lights flashing in the street.”
