This includes locations in Hengelo, Enschede, Vlaardingen, Delft, IJmuiden and Amsterdam. A search is also underway in Vreden, just across the German border. The police and the judiciary say that by these raids they are winding up a cocaine line and thus making a contribution to “increasing social resilience and safety.”
Special drug dogs are used in the search and the police are working together with a search team from the defense force. This team is deployed for difficult searches, for example if a search has to be made in very small, dark spaces, or in unsafe situations, the police reported. The team uses, among other things, a ground radar, which makes it possible to look up to a few meters into the soil.
Police would not say how many kilograms of cocaine were found.
