Six people arrested for involvement in drug smuggling from Curaçao | NOW

The police arrested six people in the Netherlands on Thursday evening who were allegedly involved in the trafficking and smuggling of cocaine from Curaçao. Houses, sheds and sheds were searched in thirteen places.

The raids took place in Hengelo, Enschede, Vlaardingen, Delft, IJmuiden and Amsterdam. A search was also carried out in Vreden, just across the German border.

Specially trained drug dogs were used in the search and the police worked together with a defense search team. This team is deployed for difficult searches, for example if a search has to be made in very small, dark spaces, or in unsafe situations, the police reported. The team uses, among other things, a ground radar, which makes it possible to look up to a few meters into the soil.

Police would not say how many kilograms of cocaine were found.
