The police entered the building around eleven o’clock in the evening with four SWAT teams. There were also about 25 police cars, sniffer dogs and a police drone team present. The municipality of Tilburg was also present at the raid, because it probably concerns a municipal building.

About thirty people were present in the building and they were all checked. A firearm was found and seized. All cars on the property were also checked and a second firearm was found in one of the cars.

Investigations are still ongoing into what and how many drugs were found. According to the police, the three men who have been arrested do not yet have a known permanent place of residence.
