30 arrests in six months in wave of violence over cocaine theft - DutchNews.nl

Last year, a stolen shipment of cocaine in Belgium led to explosions, arson attacks and shelling in several cities in South Holland.

The police have arrested no fewer than thirty suspects in the investigation into the unprecedented wave of violence that arose after a shipment of 1,400 kilos of cocaine was stolen. Justice links seventeen attacks in and around The Hague and in the Groene Hart to the underworld conflict.

Police and public prosecutors in the region of The Hague have quietly made a large number of arrests in connection with a wave of violence that followed the theft of a huge shipment of cocaine worth tens of millions of euros.

These incidents included explosions, shootings, arson, and threats in and around The Hague, Alphen aan den Rijn, and Leiden. A total of 30 suspects have been arrested for these crimes. Most were the perpetrators of the violence, but police were also able to arrest some of the middlemen.
