Again meth-lab with Mexicans discovered
12 June 2019

Seven men are detained in Antwerp (including Dutch and Mexicans) after discovering a large drug laboratory last week in Wuustwezel (B). The federal judicial police invaded last Thursday at a remote pig farm on Noordheuvel.

The research has been going on for a long time. In the laboratory, the entire production process of methamphetamine (or crystal meth) was done, up to and including the vacuum packaging of the product, according to the Belgian judiciary.

The police confiscated more than 4 kilos of crystal meth. Hardware and chemicals were stored in three garage boxes.

Seven people have been arrested on the spot: a Belgian of 62 from Wuustwezel, two Dutch people of 36 and 40, three Mexicans of 26, 28 and 54 and a Colombian of 55. Extensive trace research has been done and the lab has been dismantled. The investigation under the leadership of the examining magistrate will be continued.

In the Netherlands, several meth labs were dismantled this year, including Mexican suspects.
