GermanDutch Raids Uncover Wolfenbüttel Amphetamine Lab as Seven Detained

The case stems from a Europol-supported probe into a largely Dutch network suspected of industrial-scale synthesis.

Overview

  • Police searched 17 homes and warehouses simultaneously, eight in Lower Saxony and nine in the Netherlands.
  • A professional facility near Schöppenstedt was found idle for construction yet assessed to have produced large quantities of amphetamine.
  • Authorities detained seven suspects, four provisionally in the Wolfenbüttel area and three in the Netherlands, with existing warrants executed.
  • Investigators recently intercepted about 130 liters of amphetamine base at the Dutch border, enough for roughly 1.5 million doses.
  • Seized substances are valued in the low double-digit millions, and forensic work plus safe chemical removal are ongoing.
