Mercury is used, among other things, in the manufacture of synthetic drugs, according to the spokesperson. Whether the mercury that was found on Friday was also intended for that purpose, must become clear from an investigation by the police.

A special police service, the National Dismantling Facility (LFO), was on site to investigate the chemicals. LFO employees wore gas masks and were assisted by firefighters with compressed air masks.

The first report about the house came just before 7 p.m. Then it was still a nuisance air.
