The police arrested a man on Saturday because he had thirty packets of cocaine in his car. He had collected the drugs from Borssele beach with another person. Almost 300 packets of cocaine washed ashore there last Tuesday.
According to the police, the walkers had turned “100 kilometers to get some fresh air” on the Zeeland beach. The arrestee has been transferred to a prison in Middelburg, Police team Walcheren reports Saturday on Facebook.
The beach has been cordoned off since Tuesday. Despite this, according to the police, the beach has been attracting people from all over the Netherlands all week long “who come to try their luck”. For example, officers also checked six walkers earlier on Saturday, one of whom was arrested because he did not have a valid identity card with him.
Two others were trying to hide in the dunes, according to police, when officers arrived on the beach. They were fined because it is forbidden to walk between the beach grass.
Images of various animals were glued to the taped packages that the police fished out of the water on Tuesday. A test showed that the packages contained cocaine. The police and customs kept a close eye on the beach for the rest of the week.
