On Thursday night, the police encountered a large drug lab on Hoogbosweg in Nederweert, Limburg. According to the National Dismantling Support Facility (LFO), this would be “the largest and most professional crystal meth production location ever found in the Netherlandsâ€.
Two sheds
The police tracked down the drug lab in the outlying area after information from cracked chat messages. At the location, an arrest team discovered the extensive lab in two connected sheds. A 62-year-old man from Poland was arrested in an associated house. Multiple arrests are not ruled out, police said.
Quantity still unknown
LFO specialists are dismantling the production site. Given the size and size, this will certainly take until Sunday. According to the investigation and LFO, research shows that in terms of quantities of raw materials and end products, it is the largest crystal meth lab ever in the Netherlands. An inventory will be made of exactly which and how many raw materials, end products and resources were present in the drug lab.
Because the drug lab is remote, there was no danger to local residents.
The largest crystal meth labs found in the Netherlands to date were those in Drempt and Arnhem.
