Multiple arrests in major police action against drug gang in Brabant
The gang is said to be operating drug labs and are also active in Belgium and Germany.
The six arrested suspects are between 20 and 34 years old. They are suspected of producing and trafficking synthetic drugs and participating in a criminal organization.
Main suspect Stefan P., a descendant of the well-known and infamous Roma family P.', was lifted from his bed there this morning at 05:00 am by an arrest team.
Since May 2020, the police have been investigating the gang, which is alleged to be involved in large-scale production of synthetic drugs. The research team was provided with a large number of chat messages from EncroChat, Sky-ECC and Anom, which showed that several involved were operating multiple drug labs in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Labs have already been dismantled in recent months in Tegelen, Ruppach (Germany), Kassel (Germany) and Lanaken (Belgium).
