Dutchman held with 4200 xtc-pills

German police have arrested a Dutch national with 4,200 xtc pills in his possession. The unnamed Dutchman was traveling on a train with the narcotics in suitcase, but got caught during a routine inspection in Gronau. Media in Germany say he had caught the train from Enschede to Hamburg and was promised €500 upon delivery of the pills, which apparently have a street value of €42,000. The Dutch drugs smuggler has been taken into custody in Münster.
