Overview
- Officers stopped a van on the A1 near Amersfoort carrying 486 cylinders of laughing gas totaling 972 kilograms, arrested a 19-year-old Amsterdam man, and seized the load for destruction ahead of his court presentation Thursday.
- A raid in Ter Apelkanaal confirmed a former drug lab at a property where police found about 20,000 liters of chemical drugs waste, with evidence handling and hazardous disposal underway.
- Overnight blasts damaged residences in Spijkenisse and at a tenth‑floor apartment in Rotterdam‑IJsselmonde, the latter the third such incident at that address in a year; no injuries were reported and causes are under investigation.
- A serious morning crash involving a truck and two cars on the A12 near Arnhem triggered delays of up to two hours before lanes reopened, while the A58 near Bavel was closed after a car was crushed between two trucks and burned out without reported injuries.
- Police dismantled a cannabis grow in Vorden with roughly 300 plants and identified three residents as suspects pending further investigation, and rail services broadly returned to normal schedules after last week’s freeze with some routes still reduced for maintenance.
