Police Seize 3.3 Tons of Cocaine in Dutch Warehouse Raid

The haul stems from an inquiry launched on foreign intelligence, with eight detainees set to face an examining judge on 6 November.

Overview

  • The national detection and intervention unit led the operation in coordination with the Zeeland-West-Brabant police.
  • Those detained include three men from Breda (21, 22, 35) and men from Colombia (30), England (38), Morocco (41), Bulgaria (50) and Roosendaal (47).
  • Investigators also seized a firearm and multiple vehicles during the warehouse search.
  • Follow-up searches were conducted at three locations in Breda and one in Roosendaal as part of the same investigation.
  • The cocaine is estimated to be worth about €250 million, a valuation based on market pricing that investigators emphasize is an estimate.
